In the second half, the Maccabees inched closer as a layup by junior guard Michael Berg pulled the home team within seven, at 51-44, with just under 15 minutes remaining. That was as close as Yeshiva would get as St. Joseph's went on an 11-2 run to take a commanding 62-46 lead with 12:48 remaining. The Bears never looked back and went on to win, 92-75.

Weiss scored a game-high 27 points, while senior forward Shelby Rosenberg scored 12. Freshman guard Jamie Cappell added 11 points.
