Refreshed from halftime, the hosts achieved several more baskets in the third to decrease the lead. With 2:40 left, the score stood at 37-30, Tigers’ favor. Surry quickly got two more, including one at the last second, putting the total at 39-30.

In the fourth, the Tigers picked up the pace and continued to again increase the lead. By 5:56, the board showed 46-32. Windsor achieved baskets at 7:11; 4:08 and finally at 1:10, but by the end it was 54-37.
