ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Elvar Fridriksson followed up a shot with a gamewinning basket with two seconds left in double overtime as No. 10 Barry beat No. 21 Eckerd, 97-95, on the road Saturday. The win snapped Eckerd's 10-game winning streak as Barry won for the second time in three years in double overtime in the McArthur Center.

Barry solidified itself at the top of the Sunshine State Conference, along with Tampa, which also has one loss in league play.

INSIDE THE MATCHUP
Final: Barry 97, Eckerd 95
Records: Barry 12-1, 6-1 SSC; Eckerd 11-3, 4-2 SSC
All-Time Series: Eckerd leads 44-26

SUMMARY:

• The Bucs led by as many as 15, but Eckerd held Barry for over five minutes without a field goal in the second half to send it to overtime. Drushaun McLaurn scored with 1:13 to go in the first overtime to put the Tritons up by one. But Arie Williams hit a 3-pointer after missing one seconds earlier. Mortensen tipped out the offensive board, and Williams' triple put the Bucs ahead by two. McLaurn later scored to send it to a second overtime.
• Williams hit a 3, and Mortensen sank two free throws to start the second overtime. Eckerd tied the game for a fourth time with 1:31 remaining before Williams scored with 44 seconds to go. Trevon Young answered 20 seconds later to tie it again, 95-95, before Fridriksson's follow-up heroics won it.
• The Buccaneers opened the game with six triples to take an 18-4 lead. 

NOTEWORTHY:

• Arie Williams moved into sole possession of third place on the school's all-time three-point field goals list. He has 191 in his four-year Bucs career.
• Daniel Mortensen buried a career-high seven triples in scoring a season-high 23 points. He also had two blocks on one possession, and came up with the key rebound in the game on the tip-out to Williams, whose three essentially sent the game to double overtime.
• Sawyer Glick had two offensive rebounds on the Bucs' final possession in which Barry had four cracks at the basket before Fridriksson cashed in.
• Fridriksson had his team-leading fourth double-double of the season.
• The Buccaneers dished out at least 20 assists for the ninth time this season.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

"Sawyer Glick didn't score much today, but he came up with two huge offensive rebounds that allowed Elvar to follow up. That was so important, and I can't stress that enough."
