Each team traded baskets with Dylan Moles, recording the points for the Knights. Taylor continued to strike, recording five baskets before Nate Luce and Luke Lindeman broke up the run, halting the score 26-12 at the 10-minute mark. 

The Trojans continued to fire off baskets, recording a trio before Aaron Humphrey Jr. broke up the run with a layup. Ron Rutland III was able to decrease Taylor's pair of baskets with a jumper, followed by a free throw from Franks and a three-pointer from Luce to bring the score 40-20 with three and a half minutes remaining. Taylor recorded three more baskets in the half while Marian recorded one from Rutland III, ending the half 47-22 in favor of Taylor.
