Peters threw an inbounds strike past midcourt to Tevonn Walker, who made a layup and was fouled with 9.8 seconds left. Walker missed the free throw, making it 58-55 and giving Cleveland State another shot.
The Vikings' Charlie Lee dribbled into the paint, and dished back to Trey Lewis, who was fouled on his trey attempt with 1.7 seconds left. He made the first free throw but missed the second.
Cleveland State (9-9, 3-1 Horizon League) couldn't grab the rebound on Lewis' intentionally missed third shot, sealing it for Valparaiso (16-3, 3-1).
