The Bald Eagles and the Warriors were neck-and-neck at the start, trading points back and forth as each team fought to gain the lead.

Redman got LHU on the board first in the second half, putting the Bald Eagles up 32-30. East Stroudsburg hit right back, taking the lead and holding on to a slight advantage for the remainder of the third quarter. The Warriors would pull away in the fourth quarter, going on a 12-point run and holding LHU scoreless for over seven minutes on the way to a 58-42 victory.
