| Hillside avenged its earlier loss to Summit on a layup with 2 seconds left. Hillside got off to a fast start with a 21 point first quarter. With the inside shot stiffled by Robby Walsh, Hillside turned to the outside shot. Unfortunately they were succesful as they drained four 3-pointers to take a four point lead. A three at the 2nd quarter buzzer by Ba'Shawn Mickens brought Summit to within one point. Summit finally took a 5 point lead, aided by Mickens' 9 points, going into the 4th quarter.
The Summit fans began to feel more comfortable midway in the 4th quarter as the lead grew to six. However, 7 quick points by Hillside put them ahead by 1 at the 3 minute mark. A pair of FGs by Mickens and one by Matt Fischetti put Summit back on top with 1:33 left. With 9.2 seconds on the clock Summit went to the foul line with a one point lead and a 1-and-1.
