Greensboro, NC - It was a tough end to an exciting game for Greensboro College Men's Basketball (9-13, 5-6) as they would fall to Mary Baldwin (10-11, 4-7) on a buzzer-beating shot 70-69 Wednesday night.

Greensboro started strong, taking a 13-8 lead early on. They would later go up 32-21, but the Fighting Squirrels brought the score to 37-32 at the half. 

The Greensboro offense wouldn't be as strong in the second half, and Mary Baldwin would capitalize. They took a 46-45 lead with 12:30 to go, and the teams would trade buckets most of the half. Down by five with 52 seconds left, Greensboro mounted a quick comeback, forcing multiple turnovers on the defensive end.

Will Gray would hit a layup with 7 seconds remaining, to put Greensboro up 69-68, but it was DJ Via who would drive down the floor and hit a wild turnaround jumper to win the game as time expired.

DJ Jackson led all players with 24 points. Gray finished with 22, while Jeremiah Howard dominated the glass with a career high 16 rebounds.
