On Assumption's next possession, Quick ended up with the ball on the baseline on the right side of the court off a scramble for the ball and fed Beinert underneath the basket. Beinert converted a lay-up and connected on the ensuing free throw for a two-point Assumption lead with 6.3 seconds left. The Dolphins were unable to get a shot off before the buzzer sounded.
