Both defenses controlled the first half, with the Red Barons carrying a 30-27 advantage into halftime. Cayuga's offense came alive in the second half with 40 points, though, while their defense continued to lock down the Red Barons' attack.

Josiah Murphy led Cayuga with 22 points and added seven rebounds, and Yaqub Drammeh had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Omar Musa had 10 points and six rebounds, and Kirk McFarlane had eight rebounds. Jai Clayton added nine points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists.
