Sophomore Tunde Scrivner hit two consecutive three pointers to start the second half and energize the Owls to a 47-40 lead. Scrivner would later connect on a layup with 10:23 remaining to give the Owls their largest lead of the game with the score 66-52 which forced the Riverhawks to take a timeout.
