Villalon also dropped 12 points from the charity stripe. Junior guard Anthony Simmons (Stamford, Conn.) chipped in with 13 points and a pair of steals, while senior guard Brock Walters (Jacksonville, Fla.) added 12 points while junior forward Logan Liberty (Duxbury, Vt.).

Junior center Nate Howard (Cheshire, Conn.) also pulled down eight caroms.

The visitors jumped out to a 28-7 lead in the first 7:42 of the first stanza, but the Lasers registered a 15-6 run over the next four minutes to pull within 12 points. Villalon shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line over the stretch, while freshman guard Scott Arsenault (Walpole, Mass.) added a three-pointer and a jumper, while Liberty sank a pair of free-throws during the spurt.
