With the win, the Devils improved to 12-12 (6-7 Freedom) while the Eagles dropped to 17-7 (8-5 Freedom).  The win means the Devils are still alive for a berth in the ECAC Metro Region Tournament.

After Eastern closed to within three, 41-38, with 12:39 to go in the contest, FDU ripped off a 12-4 run to take a 53-42 lead with 7:29 remaining.  The Eagles made one final push to pull to 53-48 with 4:48 to go but the Devils put the game away with an 11-4 run over the next four minutes to take a 64-52 lead with 0:39 left on their way to the 66-57 win.
