The Petrels were out front for the first 10 minutes of the second period, until the Tigers crept back up. The last time the Petrels held the lead was 62-61 with 10 minutes remaining. Sewanee quickly built up a strong lead, and the Petrels were unable to keep up. Stone sank a 3-pointer at the very end, but Oglethorpe fell 93-85.
