The game would then be tied again, this time at 19 as William Jobe scored after a Beau Frericks offensive rebound at the 9:30 mark of the opening half. The two teams traded runs before Emillis Butkus knotted the game at 28 with 4:57 until halftime. Rollins held the lead until a OT Delancey triple gave Barry a 35-34 lead with 44 ticks until halftime.
