NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Kyle Vinales hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 6 seconds showing to lift Central Connecticut State over Quinnipiac 67-65 Monday night.
Vinales finished with 17 points, Malcolm McMillan added 16 and Joe Efese 14 for the Blue Devils, who snapped Quinnipiac’s six-game winning streak and avenged a mid-season, 85-75 loss to the Bobcats.
CCSU led 59-53 before Quinnipiac (14-14, 10-6 Northeast Conference) used a 12-3 run to go up three with 1:42 showing.
Efese’s layup cut it to one, then, after Quinnipiac’s Dave Johnson missed a jumper with 33 seconds left, CCSU called a timeout to set up Vinales’ game-winner.
