Led by seven points from Chukwueze, the Lightning built an 18-16 advantage in the first half while holding Chestnut Hill to just five made field goals and posting a commanding 28-16 rebounding advantage.
The Lightning led by as many as four points in the second half before a 7-2 run by Chestnut Hill gave the Griffins a 33-32 edge with 10:11 left.
However, the Lightning reclaimed the advantage and built their largest lead of the game at 42-37 on a Chukwueze lay-up with 4:17 remaining.
But, a 10-3 run by the Griffins gave them a 47-45 margin with 1:07 left before Grover tied the game with 48 seconds remaining.
