Junior guard Edil Lacayo knocked down 11 of his 16 in the first stanza and Khalil McDonald also had a huge first half adding 10 of his 16 in the first half.  Freshman forward Daniel Watson also contributed with 11 rebounds.

The second half saw the Knights come out of the locker room fresh and ready for Bridgeport. Queens continued its good shooting, knocking down 44% of their shots in the half. The Knights were also successful in out rebounding their opponents which limited Bridgeport's opportunities for easy second chance put backs.
