Spalding came off the tip-off at a rocky start as the Gorloks went on a 7-0 run against the Golden Eagles.

The Golden Eagles seemed to turn it on in the second half as they start to cut down the Gorlok lead. Jacoby Johnson would start the Spalding offense with a three to put the Golden Eagles down by 11. Spalding would take advantage of missed shots and turnovers by Webster as they get within four of the lead on the layup by Christian Stewart.
