Yale earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Sunday. Not to be outdone by the Bears, the Bulldogs got past the Bears on a last-second jump shot courtesy of Matt Knowling with but a second left in the second quarter. The win made it back-to-back wins for Yale.

Yale got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was August Mahoney out in front who scored 15 points along with five rebounds and two steals. Danny Wolf was another key contributor, almost dropping a double-double on nine points and 13 rebounds.

Johni Broome was the offensive standout of the contest as he dropped a double-double on 19 points and 11 rebounds. He didn't help Auburn's cause all that much against Miss. State on Saturday but the same can't be said for this match. Another player making a difference was Dylan Cardwell, who scored seven points along with four blocks.
