into the locker room with a six-point lead.
The Seawolves went on their own
9-0 run to take a one-point lead early in the second half, but
Providence responded with a 15-5 streak of its own, then blew the
game open by holding Stony Brook to a single free throw over a
four-minute span, with Henton's layup upping the advantage to 14 with
9:42 to play. The lead reached as big as 23 as the Friars cruised the
rest of the way.
