Goshen was down six after two made free-throws for the Lancers with under two minutes to go. Saiveon Williams made a layup on a pass from Kamren Williams on the next possession, and he blocked Michael Wellman, his fourth block of the day, on Grace's next possession. Neither team capitalized on their next possessions and Jacob Carlson stole the ball and Braden Allen was fouled with 40 seconds to go. Allen made both shots to put Goshen down 82-80. Saiveon Williams had his fifth block on the next Lancers possession and Kamren Williams was fouled with 15 seconds to go. He made the first shot, but the second attempt hit off the front of the rim. The ball was up for grabs for a moment, eventually making its way back towards Williams' direction, but Grace came up with it and made two free-throws at the other end.

The Lancers were up three when they fouled Marcus Northern, who made both shots to make it a one-point game again with ten seconds to go. Grace went 2-2 at the line, and it was back to a three-point difference with seven seconds left. Grace fouled again to send Jacob Carlson to the line. After making the first, he intentionally missed the second but the Lancers came up with it and won by two.
