Jamal Washington notched a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Justin Nwosu was the fourth Marauder in double figures with 10 points.

Elmore would keep the Huskies within striking distance in the first half, tallying 15 points in the opening frame on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor. Peyton Mortellite (Hammonton, N.J./Hammonton) added four points for Bloomsburg, but the Huskies were 0-for-7 from three-point territory in the half. Leading by eight with 2:48 to play in the period, the Marauders would finish the half on an 8-4 run to take a 41-29 lead into the locker room.

The Huskies would stay withing shouting distance of the lead early in the second stanza, but Millersville would take over midway through the half, opening up a lead as large as 27 in the game's closing minutes. Millersville was an impressive 8-of-17 from behind the arc in the second half.
