READING, PA - Steve Luchansky knocked down a buzzer beater from just beyond half court to force a second overtime, but Penn State Berks was outlasted by the College of Saint Elizabeth in a 125-114 setback in Monday night's North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest.

The first half was a back-and-forth battle that saw the Nittany Lions take a 41-39 lead into the halftime break. In the second period, Berks led by as much as 11 points (80-69) with 4:43 left to play. The Eagles worked at their deficit and tied the game with 22 second left and again with just one second on the clock. In the first overtime, the largest lead for either team was three points. CSE went up by 106-103 with 2.4 second left, but Luchansky took an inbound pass and then made a few dribbles before drilling his shot as time expired.

In the second overtime, Berks got out to a quick five point lead (111-106), but as player after player for the Nittany Lions fouled out, the lead started to evaporate. The Eagles made 13-of-14 shots at the foul line over the final 1:44 of the extra frame to come away with the road victory.
