Murray scored 12 points in the first half when Presbyterian took a 31-24 lead. The Blue Hose led by as many 14 in the second half but an 8-0 run got the Flames within 56-55 with 1:44 remaining. However, a dunk by Truss and two layups by Markus Terry while the Flames were missing three shots preserved the win.
