Belmont Abbey senior guard Tyshawn Good scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half as the Crusaders men's basketball team made three stops in the final 20 seconds, and Limestone's Rashod Chavis missed a shot at the buzzer as the Crusaders earned an 86-85 win over Limestone this evening. The win gives the Abbey the season split in the series as it moves to 11-5 overall and 7-2 in Conference Carolinas, while Limestone drops to 11-4 overall and 7-2 in Conference Carolinas.

The Crusaders closed their halftime deficit to 47-44 at the half as Justin Kuhlman drilled a three-pointer with eight seconds left. In the second half, the Abbey outscored the Saints 42-38 as it opened the stanza on a 10-4 run to take a 55-51 lead.

At the 10:12 mark, Limestone's Ryan Bogdan drilled a three-pointer to knot the game for the eighth and final time, but Good answered right back with a three of his own to move the Abbey lead to 70-67 with 10:08 to go.

After Bogdan missed a three-pointer on Limestone's next trip, Kuhlman swished a jumper to move the lead to five, which was part of a 7-2 run, capped off by a Good running layup which extended the Crusader lead to seven at 76-69 with 7:54 to go.

Limestone connected on a three on its next trip to chop the lead to four, but the Abbey responded in kind, scoring the next five points on a jumper from Terrone Sheffey and a Good three pointer to widen the gap to nine at 81-72 with 5:45 to play.

Leading 84-76 with 4:24 to go, Limestone made its move, embarking on a 9-2 run to close the Abbey's lead to just one at 86-85 with 11:10 to go. The last point of the game came on a Moultrie free throw at that 1:10 mark. Moultrie scored five of Limestone's nine points in the run as he finished with 17 on the night.

The two teams battled to a stalemate from there as the defenses took over. With 25 seconds left Limestone secured possession and worked its offense. PJ Foster threw up a long jumper from the left elbow that fell off the iron. Sheffey grabbed the rebound, but his outlet pass sailed right back to Foster. Foster immediately fired a pass to a wide open Mike Barrett underneath the basket, but the ball got away from him as Kuhlman grabbed the steal. Moultrie then fouled Kuhlman with 14 seconds left.

In a one and one situation, Kuhlman missed the free throw and Moultrie secured the rebound and the Saints immediately called timeout with 11 seconds left.

Out of the timeout, Limestone put the ball in play underneath its basket and marched down the floor and used the clock. With two seconds left, Chavis, with a defender on him, fired a jumper from the top of the key, but the shot missed and Sheffey grabbed the rebound as time expired.

Belmont Abbey shot 55 percent as Good led all scorers with 23 points, 19 in the second half, on eight of 17 shooting. Sheffey added 17, eight in the second half, on eight of 13 shooting. He also had three steals and two assists. Darryl Durham added 16 points on eight of 11 shooting with six rebounds, and Chris Davis netted 11 points on two of five shooting. He also sank seven of eight free throws. Kuhlman added eight points and five assists.
