In a game in which Fairleigh Dickinson rallied from an 18-point second half deficit, it was Ubilla’s late-game heroics on Saturday that sparked the Knights to a 96-95 overtime win over Wagner. Making just his second start of the season, Ubilla scored a career-high 25 points in the contest, hitting 8-14 from the field, 3-7 from outside the arc and 6-7 from the line. He also grabbed six rebounds and added two steals, an assist and a blocked shot as the Knights improved to 2-0 in NEC play. Ubilla scored six points in a 12-0 run that cut Wagner’s lead to 67-66 with just under six minutes to play, then tallied seven points in overtime. Trailing 91-86, he drilled a three-pointer with 2:29 remaining in the extra session, then sank a jumper to pull the Knights to within 93-91 at the 1:32 mark. Ubilla went on to convert the go-ahead layup with :46 left on the clock to give FDU its first lead in the overtime session. The Freehold, NJ native has now averaged 17.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 2.7 apg over his last three outings. Ubilla currently ranks second on the Knights in scoring (11.6 ppg) and leads the club with 25 three-pointers.
