How It Happened
It took two minutes for either team to find their first basket in the first quarter when Cornell struck first to go up 2-0. Following a pair of turnovers and a missed three-pointer, McGurk got the Quakers on the board with a triple to go back up by a point.
A 6-0 run to reclaim the lead courtesy of Padilla had Penn back up by two, but Cornell scored two buckets to lead by a pair heading into the media timeout with 4:21 remaining.
