Wilson opened the second half with a jumper, but Calvert Gantz countered with a pair of free throws to cut the Penn State Harrisburg lead to 27-22 with 19:12 to play in the game.

Penn State Harrisburg used a 10-0 run to take control of the game. Back-to-back three pointers by Harris and Sodini gave the Nittany Lions a 37-22 lead with 16:58 to play in the game.
