The Garnet (28-4) were led by guards Vinny DeAngelo, who scored 23 points, and George Visconti, who had 21.

Both Swarthmore guards led a late comeback from nine points down to tie the game in the last 2 minutes.

Jahn Hines led the Captains (29-3) with 22 points, and Trey Barber had 21.

Christopher Newport (Va.) is coached by John Krikorian, a Penn grad who once was a Fran Dunphy assistant with the Quakers.
