SFA found themselves down 17-9 in the first eight minutes of the game, but a stepback jumper from Nigel Hawkins with just under eight to play gave the 'Jacks their first lead, 21-20. The Lumberjacks contained and managed a 10-0 run to end the first half, taking a 38-31 lead into the locker room.
The 'Jacks nearly knocked down half of their shots (14-30 FG) in the second half, outscoring UVU 40-28 and eliminated any glimpse of a single-digit deficit for the visitors. SFA converted 26 points off of 21 UVU turnovers to maintain composure throughout the contest, and limited the Wolverines to 8-28 shooting in the final 20 minutes of play.
