2/18/2007 - If there were such thing as the perfect Hudson Valley Men's Athletic Conference (HVWAC) Basketball Championship Game, the 2007 version was it. There was drama, intensity, a courageous comeback, 11 ties, 12 lead changes, and one of the best finishes to any game in the history of the conference that kept a crowd that filled the Mount Saint Vincent Gymnasium to capacity on its feet for two halves of basketball, and an overtime session that saw second-seeded Berkeley College stun top-seeded St. Joseph's, 94-93 in the extra session to capture their second straight HVMAC Tournament crown. Berkeley overcame two losses to the Bears to the regular season to win the tournament championship during a 2006-07 season that was a near carbon copy of the 2005-06 campaign when St. Joseph's swept regular season play and lost to Berkeley in the Final.
