A three-pointer by James Scali (Newburyport, Mass.), a dunk by Shawn Charles (Vero Beach, Fla.), and an And-1 by Jason Romas (Peabody, Mass.) gave the Colonels a 13-point advantage (36-23), its largest lead of the night.

After the Lynx battled back to establish a seven-point lead over Curry (53-46) with seven minutes remaining in the second half, the Colonels fought their way back into the game, retaking a 59-58 lead off a dunk by Charles.
