The match took place at a sold-out Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena, marking the third time a power conference opponent has played at "The Elly" in four years.
"I don't know that this [game] was pretty, maybe that's just part of it, but what our guys did show is some real fight and resolve," said head coach John Jakus.
Following a 42-point win against Florida Tech, with a 24-point performance from guard Devin Vanterpool, the team was eager to continue their winning streak.
