Lundholm Gymnasium went from bedlam to stoned silence in five seconds flat. Joe Zeglinski banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer, just five seconds after New Hampshire’s Alvin Abreu hit a fadeaway jumper from the left corner to tie the score and send the crowd of 2,073 into a frenzy. Zeglinski’s bucket, launched from just inside the three-point line, gave the Hawks a 57-54 victory and handed them their first season sweep of the Wildcats since 2004.
