How It Happened: The Lions were the first to find the scoreboard putting three points on the board before Jordan Praylow responded with a three-pointer of his own, his first of four on the day. The two squads continued to trade points and the lead up until the ten-minute mark in the first half when back-to-back layups from Luke Rumbaugh began a 15-0 run to put the Chargers up 35-21.  The Lions looked to chip away, but steady points from Camden Hurst and Connor Storr and a layup from Maureon Tisdale-Couch at the end of the half put the halftime score at 48-34 for the Chargers.

Praylow again started the half with a three-pointer before Rumbaugh had an emphatic putback dunk to put the Chargers up 16. Hurst secured two steals, both of which the Chargers converted, to reach a 20-point lead, 57-37.
