The Knights led 55-45 following a 1-for-2 showing at the line from Figueroa with 8:20 to go in the second before the Blazers used a 13-3 run that was capped by two free throws from Bowens to knot the score at 58 three minutes later.

Cameron Cook then tipped in a missed layup attempt by Reggie Daniels (Abingdon, Md.) with 1:32 left to put the Blazers ahead for good.
 
Figueroa brought Arcadia back within one with a free throw with 1:03 left, but he missed the second giving Hood a 67-66 lead.

Lee-Webb then lost the ball with four seconds to go and Chris Cook came up with it. He was immediately fouled by Landro and went 1-for-2 at the line for the 68-66 final. The Knights got the ball back with two seconds left, but couldn't get a shot off before time expired.
