The Huskies rallied from 11 points down in the second half and held a one-point lead until Elon's Marcus Sheffield II drained a 3-pointer with 1:22 left in the game to give the Phoenix a two-point lead, 66-64. Smith answered for the Huskies at the other end with an old-fashion three-point play as Northeastern was back on top, 67-66 (1:11). Sheffield had the response once again, recording a three-point play at the other end and Elon would make 5-of-6 free throws in the final seconds to secure the win.
Sheffield led all scorers with 28 points. Hunter McIntosh was the only other Elon player in double figures, tallying 24 and made 3-of-4 shots from beyond the arc.
