Reynolds took over offensively in the third, scoring the first seven Detroit points, and the Titans led after three, 52-40.

Cleveland State's Adesuwa Aideyman hit three-straight 3-pointers to open the scoring in the fourth quarter, but Reynolds answered with a trey from the top of the key off an assist from Haleigh Ristovski. CSU would get within two, 57-55, with 3:53 left in the contest, but Detroit went on a run of its own.

Jackson hit both free throws after being fouled and Reynolds and Cohen followed with consecutive lay-ups to put the Titans up eight , 63-55.
