Towson came back in both regulation time and overtime to earn a 79-75 victory at Monmouth on Sunday in West Long Branch, N.J.
The Tigers (4-1) trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half, and were down 41-29 at the break. The Hawks led 66-58 with 2:26 to play, but Towson scored the final eight points of regulation to force overtime.
The Tigers capped off the rally when Monmouth guard Justin Robinson fouled Towson guard Four McGlynn while shooting a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left. McGlynn made all three attempts.
Guard Deon Jones missed a jumper at the end of regulation that would have won it for the Hawks.
