Final Score:  Baptist Bible College 88, University of Health Science and Pharmacy 73
Location:  BBC (W. E. Dowell Fieldhouse) Springfield, Missouri
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri- The Patriots played steady throughout the contest, committing only 6 turnovers in a fast-paced affair.  The score was tied only once, with BBC in the lead the rest of the contest.  The first half was close until the last four minutes when the Patriots lengthened their lead to double figures as the Eutectics had a shooting drought.  With the Patriots leading 45-34 at the half, they came out of the locker room on fire and pushed the lead to 16 early in the second half.  A second offensive spurt with about five minutes remaining in the game gave the Patriots a 22 point lead.  UHSP rallied a bit to close the gap down the stretch, but the deficit was too great to overcome.  Each squad had four players reach double-figures in scoring.  Nick Coble had a double-double in the game with 20 points and 12 rebounds.  
HIGHLIGHTS

• Nick Coble and Tre Minton netted 20 Points to share scoring honors for the team.

• Tre Flowers and Minton dished out 5 Assists apiece to lead the team.
