Junior Stuart McCallum made the defensive play of the night with a game-saving block with 21 seconds left and then recovered his 13th rebound of the game. Stu also went 4-4 from the free throw line in the closing minutes. Middlesex closed the game making 9-10 free throws in the last two minutes including 4-4 from Porras.
