NEW YORK - In a New York minute, everything can change.
And one week after suffering a heartbreaking loss at Cabrini, Rosemont's men's basketball team found the magic formula to pull out a close one at the end - rallying from a five-point second half deficit on the road to beat New York University by a 69-66 score Tuesday night at the Brooklyn Athletic Facility.
TURNING POINT:
At times, it wasn't pretty and there were some struggles in the second half, which saw both teams go cold from the floor. But the Ravens found a way to win thanks to a steady production at the free throw line, which saw them hit 15 of 15 free throws in the final 20 minutes to help them pull away.
FROM THEÂ BOXSCORE:
-Â
Jalil Myers had 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds to lead the way for the Ravens. Myers has scored 19 or more points in four of the Ravens six contests this season.

Jacob Simonson followed up his career-high 20 point output against Cabrini last week with another solid showing, scoring 18 points and grabbing three rebounds.
