Hamline took their first lead, 8-6, just before the 15-mintute mark as Ray Brown (Sr., Saint Paul, Minn.) hit Carl Hipp (Jr., Little Canada, Minn.) for an easy lay-up as he cut down the center of the lane.

St. Olaf responded with four straight points to go back up by two, 10-8. The Oles then built up an 18-11 lead at the halfway point of the half.

Hamline then doubled the Oles’ point total over the six minutes, out-scoring them 14-7 to tie the game at 25-25 with 4:22 remaining in the half. The tying three-pointer came as Brown dumped the ball out to Dan Andersen (Sr., Minneapolis, Minn.) near the top of the arc.

Hamline went on to lead by five, 35-30, at the break. Hipp had a double-double by the end of the first half, leading the Pipers with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks. Brown had eight points and four assists in the opening 20 minutes.

Bobby Fong (So., Bloomington, Minn.) had 17 points in the first half for the Oles, including a three-pointer at the end of the half to cut the Piper lead from eight to five points.

The Oles battled back to start the second half, tying the game at 41-41 just over five and a half minutes into the period. A three-point play from a lay-up and a free throw by Alfred Jaryan (So., Bloomington, Minn.) gave the Oles a 44-41 lead one minute later.

A pair of free throws from Christian Taber (Fy., Brooklyn Park, Minn.) made it a one-point game, 44-43, in favor of the Oles. Brown then powered to the basket for a lay-up and made a trey on the next Piper possession for the 48-44 Hamline lead by the 12-minute mark.

The Pipers went on to carry a 65-62 lead into the final minute of play. With 16 seconds on the clock, Neville hit a three to tie it up.

Hamline inbounded the ball and with 1.9 seconds on the clock, Brown released the game-winning shot from right in front of the Hamline bench for the 68-65 victory.

Brown finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds while Hipp’s double-double consisted of 20 points and 14 boards. Fong led the Oles with 22 points while Neville had 13.
