Jamal Stephenson hit the game winning 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left to cap a wild sequence of events to give the Bulldogs a 65-63 win over the Northern Lights to sweep the weekend series and take the season series three games to one. The Lights were up one with under 20 seconds left in the game and the Bulldogs needed a stop. Stephenson and
Jalen Hodges played good defense forcing the lights into a bad pass that was stolen by
Carlos Allen with seven seconds left. Allen handed the ball off to
Max Clark who sprinted up the court and dished to Stephenson who hit the dragger from deep.
Tanner Haverfield intercepted the Lights inbounds pass and the Bulldogs left the Hi-Line victorious.Â
