How it happened: PNW outscored Tiffin in the third quarter, trimming an eight-point deficit at halftime down to five, as the Dragons entered the final period ahead 54-49. However, the hosts used free-throw shooting to keep a steady hand on the lead. Tiffin made 27 of 33 attempts at the line, including 11 free throws made in the fourth quarter.
