Duncan and Mullen converted back-to-back layups, then Craig McGlond made a jumper in the lane and Mullen scored and was fouled. His free-throw brought the Wolves to within a basket at 31-29.

After two free-throws by IUP's Brandon Norfleet, Mullen scored again with 13 seconds left, but Norfleet found Anthony Glover in the corner and his three-pointer at the buzzer pushed the lead to five at 36-31 after the first 20 minutes.

Mullen paced Cheyney with a game-best 12 points, while Norfleet and Glover each scored 10 points to lead the Crimson Hawks.

Duncan opened the second half with a free-throw, but Norfleet hit a triple to ignite a seven-point run for IUP to break the game open as the Crimson Hawks held a 43-32 advantage with 17:23 to play.
