In the last 48 seconds of the game, the Eagles managed to convert seven of eight free throws as Navarre Cellini hit four of four and Mike Grant hit three of four attempts.
Cellini led the Eagles with 12 points while J.J. Bergamin added 10 and Jamie Weldon seven. John Mullin replied with 13 points for the Knights while Mark DeVuono chipped in 10 and Brad Symboluk seven.
