On the first, Perry Webster drove the lane and put an air ball into the hands of Northridge forward Michael Lizarraga, who was fouled and hit a free throw with 10.9 seconds left. Freshman Isiah Umipig drove the lane at the finish, tossed up an off-balance shot that left Hardy with a simple tip-in to tie, but the ball bounced off the rim, backboard glass and fell to the floor.
