The Cobras trailed 30-26 at the end of the first half, but would battle back in the second half to tie the game at 47 with 7:32 left in the game. The Navy and Yellow would then go on a four-point run to take a 51-47 lead with 6:18 left on the clock. The game would be deadlocked once more at 53-all, but the Lions would use a 17-3 run over the final four minutes to secure a 70-56 victory.
