Castleton raced out to a 51-35 halftime lead thanks to a 7-15 performance from beyond the arc and 47% shooting from the field. Rich Reilly scored a team-high 23 points and dished out eight assists to lead four Spartans in double-figures.

Lesley went on a late game surge to cut the lead to single digits with under five minutes to play, but Castleton was able to answer the run and put the game away. Anthony Drayton led the 12-11 (8-6 NAC) Lynx with 25 points, while Josehp Chatam and Mark Stevens chipped in 13 and 10 respectively.
