Freshman forward Jordan Tucker (Elmont, N.Y.) closed the run with a layup off the pass from Notias.

The Knights recorded a basket with 11:51 on the clock and Farmingdale State answered with a Robbie Siechen (Syracuse, N.Y.) 3-pointer and layups by Liam Buckley (Manhasset, N.Y.) and Jovayne Walters (Cambria Heights, N.Y.) to go ahead 28-11.

The Rams still led by 17, 33-16, with seven minutes to play in the first half and extended the advantage to 27 on two points apiece by Notias and Buckley and 3's by guards Jevon Santos (Elmont, N.Y.) and Sean Conroy (Staten Island, N.Y.).
