NEWPORT NEWS - A three-pointer at the buzzer of regulation set the momentum in MACU's favor as the Mustangs took down The Apprentice School men's basketball team in overtime Monday night, 81-76.

The win for the Mustangs snaps a 10-game winning streak for the Builders in the series and the first win ever for MACU in Newport News. The visitors jumped out to an 8-0 lead early before the Builders were able to get on the scoreboard. The Mustangs led all but 1:47 of the first half to take a 28-26 lead into intermission.

Apprentice held most of the momentum out of the halftime break after Donovan Means hit a three right at the end of the first half, but the Mustangs never went away, answering every Builder run. AS led by as many as nine in the second half and led by three with eight seconds left when Stewart Clough hit a three from the left wing as time expired in regulation to force overtime, tied at 67-67.

In the extra period, MACU took the momentum and burst out to a 74-69 lead. Apprentice tied the game up moments later at 74-74 before a 7-2 run for MACU sealed the deal.

With the loss, the Builders are all but locked into the fourth seed at the upcoming New South Athletic Conference tournament next week in Milton, Florida.

Donovan Means led all scorers with 23 points, while Kurij Harrell added 20, all after halftime. Harrell finished with a double-double, pulling down 13 boards on the day.

The Builders will look to bounce back on Saturday when they travel to Roanoke. Tip time is scheduled for 2 p.m.
