After the Eagles opened the first two minutes of the game with a 4-2 lead, CWRU followed with seven straight points in the next two minutes to reclaim a 9-4 lead. Points from Kennedy brought Emory back within reach of the lead but a layup in the paint from the Tartans pushed them back to an 11-8 advantage. Mullinax sank a late three to tie the game at 11 apiece but CWRU ended the first quarter with a layup to hold a 13-11 lead.

Emory dominated the fourth quarter outscoring CWRU 24-13 in the final quarter. The Eagles' offense and defense were both on show holding the Spartans scoreless through the first five minutes of the quarter while going on an 8-0 run. Emory went on a small scoring drought of their own around the four minute mark but a three pointer from Loucopoulos at the 2:22 minute mark gave the Eagles one of their biggest leads of the game. Emory clinched the win with a 5-2 run in the last two minutes of the game with a three pointer from Mullinax to seal the deal.
