The Hawks countered by retaking the lead and holding on into halftime up 33-27. The Comets started the second half with an 8-2 surge to tie things up. Once again, Viterbo countered and boosted the lead back up to 5. A David Olson 3 pointer with 6:24 to go gave Mayville State a lead they would not give up. The Comets went 6-6 from the free throw line in the last 16 seconds to burst any thoughts of a last comeback for the Hawks, and left Wisconsin with a 68-62 victory.
