Colby's Ryan Jann added two shots from the charity stripe for the Mules and the lead was increased back to six. The Beavers scored six straight points to tie the game with 2:34 left in the contest. Colby's Luke Westman stole the ball at mid-court from UMF and made the fast break layup to retake the lead.
