Maryville seemed to have the contest wrapped up in the initial overtime, as the Saints' held a 66-61 advantage over the Flyers following a Young Jr. lay-up with 45 seconds left.

The Flyers scored immediately on their next possession, as Lewis tipped in a miss by Jackson to narrow Maryville's lead to 66-63 with 34 seconds left.

Lewis immediately fouled and Saints guard Armon Provo split his charity tosses to extend Maryville's advantage to 67-63 with 30 seconds remaining.

Provo fouled Lewis senior guard Nick Valla (Tinley Park, Ill./Marist) on the inbounds play, sending the Tinley Park, Ill., native to the free throw line with 27 seconds left. Valla would drain both of his free throw attempts to bring the Flyers to within two at 67-65.

Jackson forced a Maryville turnover on the inbounds play and immediately scored with 22 ticks remaining to even the game up at 67-apiece. The Bolingbrook, Ill., native, however, fouled Toney as Maryville was trying to inbound the ball, sending him to the line with 22 seconds left.

Toney hit both of his free throws to push Maryville ahead, 69-67, with 22 seconds left. Williams, however, went right to the basket and converted a lay-up with 17 ticks left to send the game into its second extra session.

Prior to the second overtime, Maryville had built its biggest lead of the game at 49-42 with 8:22 left in the second half. The Flyers would not go away quietly, as they answered with a 14-5 run to take a 56-54 lead with 2:34 left following a pair of free throws by Jarosz. Lewis led the Flyer run with five points over that 5:48 stretch.

Maryville would go on a 4-0 run over the next 2:04 to take a 58-56 lead with 30 ticks remaining as senior forward Jamel Johnson (5 points, 6 rebounds) split a pair of free throws.
