Lafayette trailed for all of 48 second of regulation and never led until the game was in overtime. But the Leopards laughed last, handing Maryland-Baltimore County its first setback of the season, 87-84 in overtime.

Andrew Brown, who led all Leopards scorers with 15 points off the bench, hit a jumper with 48 seconds to go in regulation, sending the game into OT after UMBC had led by as many as 13 in the second half. Michael gruner, who finished with 10, then gave the Leopards their first lead with a three-pointer 33 seconds into the extra session. Lafayette went 10 for 10 from the foul line the rest of the way to pick up its second win (2-2) of the season.

Everst Schmidt (14 points) and Jeff Karl (11) were also in double figures for Lafayette. Senior forward Matt Betley chipped in with a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double.
