Old Westbury built an early 5-3 cushion before the Privateers used a 12-2 run to open up a 15-7 lead.  Maritime's advantage reached 17 points when a pair of Anderson free throws made it 31-14 with 8:31 left in the first half.  The Panthers countered with a 15-6 spurt to get back within eight, 37-29, at the 3:59 mark, but the Privateers responded with 10 straight points to extend the margin to 47-29.  An Evan Block (Seaford, NY) layup just before the halftime buzzer gave Maritime a 51-33 edge at the break.

After Old Westbury cut its deficit to 15 points, 53-38, early in the second half, the Privateers went on a 19-10 spurt to take their largest lead of the game, 72-48.  The Panthers pulled within 78-61 at the 7:08 mark before Alleyne scored nine points during a 10-2 run that brought Maritime's advantage to 88-65 with 3:29 left.  Old Westbury then ended the contest on an 11-5 rally to make the final margin 93-76.
