Turning Point
Paulk hit a pair of free throws to bring Binghamton within five, 53-48, with just under seven and a half minutes remaining in the second frame.
With the score the same at the 5:34 mark, Sherae Swinson bobbled a loose ball, and Previlon registered a bucket in the paint on the other end to put Stony Brook in front by seven, 55-48.
About 45 seconds later, Swinson tallied two free throws to make it a five-point game, 55-50. Paulk notched a hoop-and-the-harm with 3:49 left as Snow fouled out. She completed the three-point play to cut the deficit to four, 55-51.
A Harris shot bounced off the rim and in to give Stony Brook a 57-52 advantage, but she fouled Paulk on the next possession. The junior guard went 2-for-2 from the charity stripe as Stony Brook's lead dwindled to two, 57-55, with a little over three minutes remaining in the game.
Both squads went cold from the field in the waning minutes. Swinson was called for an offensive foul with 1:22 left. Previlon could not hit a lay-up on the other end, and Stony Brook came up with the ball after a scramble for the rebound.
Gatling missed a lay-up, but Previlon picked up an errant pass by Swain on the defensive end to help SBU regain possession with 30 ticks remaining.
Swain fouled Goodman with the shot clock turned off, but the junior went 0-for-2 from the free throw line. Gatling grabbed the offensive rebound on the second miss, and Paulk intentionally fouled Harris. The guard hit both shots to give the Seawolves a four-point cushion, 59-55, with 18 seconds to go.
The Bearcats could not execute on offense, but Previlon missed both of her free throws. Kim Albrecht hit a lay-up to once again bring Binghamton within two, 59-57, with one tick left.
Previlon went 1-of-2 from the line to give Stony Brook a three-point lead, and solid defense prevented Binghamton from getting off a shot at the buzzer.
