Seton Hill scored the first four points of the second half to cut the lead to 16 but Concord was able to withstand the SHU pressure and even built the lead back up to 24 at the 14 minute mark.  SHU continued to battle and after another Brennan three trailed by 16 at 62-46 with 11:12 to play.  The Griffins made one final run at Concord and cut the lead to 11 with 4:48 to play but Concord was able to put the game away at the free throw line and secured the 85-70 victory.
