With just five minutes left until halftime, David Massillon threw down his second dunk of the frame to double up the Golden Bears (40-20). Sattazahn rattled home a layup before draining a pair from behind the arc in the final two minutes to give his squad a 52-26 advantage at the break.

In the closing minutes, Xahn Frater, Benjamin North, Zachary Bennett, Drew Thibeault, and Jayson Clayton outscored their opponents 13-5 to bring home the dominant 42-point victory.
