The second ten minutes of the first half saw Finger Lakes pull away at halftime, giving them a seven-point lead.

Carmelo Ayala (Bridgeport, CT) also had 18 points in the second half. He shot 4-7 from three-point territory, helping space out the floor. With ten minutes left to go, the Twins started to pull away.
