EASTON, Pa. (AP) - Tyson Whitfield drove the lane and scored with 8 seconds remaining in overtime to secure Lafayette's 80-76 victory over Stony Brook on Monday.

Burke also hit a 3-pointer with 1:19 remaining in overtime to put Lafayette (11-14) up by two at 78-76 before Whitfield's game-securing basket.

Frank Barr led Lafayette's scoring with 12 points, while Ben Saxton and Burke had 11 points each. Whitfield and Mike Farrell had 10 points each.
