How it Happened
Pace hung tough for much of the first half before a late run from Le Moyne seized momentum heading into halftime. In a slow start for both teams, a jumper from Gilbertson cut the Dolphins' lead to 9-7 at the 13:11 mark. The Dolphins' edge would once again get cut to two at 19-17 following a Kevin Seymour (Bronx, NY/Blair Academy / Central Connecticut State University) jumper at the 6:49 mark. From there, Le Moyne controlled the action. The Dolphins ended the first half on an 18-4 run to take a 16-point advantage into the break.

The Dolphins' lead would increase incrementally throughout the second half, eventually eclipsing 20 midway through the half.
