The game started off at a slow pace with both sides struggling to make shots. OKWU led 9-8 with 12 minutes left in the first half but the Braves would come to life after that. Ottawa stretched its lead to 11 at one point in the first half. Junior guard Brooks Haddock would rally the Eagles within six points with three consecutive three-pointers.

OKWU trailed 42-36 at halftime. Ottawa would blitz the Eagles after the break leading by as many as 25 points in the second half. OKWU turned the ball over 19 times and allowed 13 made three-pointers from the Braves. Haddock would lead the team with 16 points.
