WASHINGTON (AP) --- Preston Edmead scored 22 and hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with
three seconds left in overtime to rally Hofstra to a 68-65 victory over Towson

18 points and five rebounds, while Joshua DeCady scored 10.
Tyler Tejada led the seventh-seeded Tigers (19-15) with 29 points and seven
rebounds. Dylan Williamson added 15 points.
Hofstra trailed 28-27 at halftime. Davis scored 16 in the second half, but
Tejada made two foul shots with 1:06 left in regulation to tie it 55-all and
force OT. Edmead hit two 3-pointers, scoring the final six of Hofstra's 13
points in the extra period.
