The contest started off closely as the Skylights traded a lead at 7:12 off of a tough jump shot from the inside the paint by Jacy Thompson to put Northern up 7-6.  That was the only lead the Skylights had for the rest of the game.  The Warriors would finish out the first quarter ahead of the Skylights 18-13. 

LC led by as many as 12 points midway through the second quarter, but Northern chipped away at the lead and a fast break drive to the basket by freshman Shiloh McCormick brought the Skylights within four points with 1:07 left on the clock.  Heading into the locker room at halftime, Northern was down 24-32.
