Rollins  jumped out to a 13-7 lead early on after a Marion layup at the 15:26 mark of the opening half. After a Yenor hoop three minutes later the Tars led by 12 (25-13.) The Eagles went on a 8-0 run to cut the lead to four (25-21) at the 10 minute mark of the first half. The Tars would stretch the lead 10 (33-23) after a Yenor 3-pointer at the 7:57 mark of the first half.

 After a Long 3-pointer three minutes into the second half Rollins had a 58-50 lead. A 9-0 run by the Eagles would give them the lead back before a Brooks Khalert 3-pointer and a jumper by Long would give the Tars a four point lead. That lead would be short-lived as Dry Nickson and Dillard would hit 3-pointer's. The game would remain on the see-saw for a few minutes and would be knotted at 72 after a Jared Berry free throw for the Eagles. ERAU would take a 77-72 lead but the Tars would come back and after a Marion 3-pointer the game would be tied at 77 with 4:30 on the clock. The next four points went to ERAU but the Tars would answer with five of their own as a Yenor layup gave Rollins the 82-81 lead with 1:06 to go. Whitlow hit a 3-pointer and then after a couple defensive stops the Eagles would ice this one at the free throw line.
