The Bisons low scoring carried into the second half as once again they were outscored in the third quarter but still clung to a 27-22 lead. Meyers and Shawn Lord had the lone field goals in the quarter.
The fourth quarter brought some excitement to the crowd as the Bisons were unable to make their free throws to close out the game and kept things interesting. In the end however the Bisons would hold on for their fourth straight victory.
