Down by four points with just under two minutes to play, Julius Antoine sunk a free throw and Donkoh hit a jumper, then freshman forward Kevin Bercy hit a bucket in the paint to give the X-Men an 85-84 lead. After a miscue on a Varsity Reds inbound, Jordan Clarke made a pair of free throws to give X a three-point lead with 18 seconds left on the clock, then veteran fifth year guard Daniel Quirion drained his fourth trey on the night to knot the score, setting the stage for Donkoh’s bucket.

In the final, the 2nd-seeded Saint Mary’s Huskies dispatched the 4th-seeded St. Francis Xavier X-Men 81-72 after leading 19-17, 39-37 and 64-57 at the quarters. St. FX forward Cameron Walker scored 12 in the first quarter as the X-Men hung with the Huskies early but St. Mary’s depth and balance allowed them to slowly pull away.
