Tiffin started the second half strong and Caleb Bates converted an and-one to give the Dragons a 35-34 lead that capped a 7-0 run. After a couple back-to-back empty possessions by both teams, Thomas More hit a three-pointer to take the lead back and led the rest of the game.  

That three by the Saints started a 10-0 run and Thomas More led 45-35 with 11:15 remaining. The Saints led 52-39 with 7:29 left in the game.  

The Dragons, once again, fought till the very end and cut the lead to four with 4:47 remaining following a layup by Gooden, but Tiffin was unable to cut into the deficit anymore.
