The women came out strong in the third quarter with a 12-1 run over the Condors to take control of the scoreboard. The women never wavered from their strong third quarter and were able to secure the victory with a final score of 66 - 53.

The men's game saw the Condors push the Royals hard for the full 40 minutes. The Royals were down 29 - 35 headed into the half. Hoping to regroup after a tough first half the men still seemed to be struggling to find their rhythm. With just under 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Condors held a 13-point lead. The Royals dug deep to claw themselves back up to take over the lead with just 1 minute and 30 seconds left on the clock. The Royals finished the game in the win column with a score of 85 - 80.
