LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – A last-second shot by Chowan's Quinton McDuffie was blocked by Kenny Sharpe, and Lincoln University (PA) survived with a 64-63 victory over the Hawks on Thursday.  Lincoln moves to 11-13 overall (6-7 CIAA, 4-3 North).  Chowan falls to 7-18 (1-12 CIAA, 1-6 North).
 
In a hectic last minute and change of play, Chowan's Kyree Bethel drained a three to give the Hawks a 61-59 lead.  Lincoln's Denzel Mooney then sank two free throws to tie the game at 61 with 53 seconds left to play.  After a called timeout, Chris Williams nailed a jumper to put Chowan back up by two, but Mooney came right back with a three pointer to give LUP a 64-63 lead with just 16 ticks on the clock.
 
Chowan called another timeout to set up a last-second shot, but McDuffie could not get it off over the out-stretched arms of Sharpe.
