Ouachita (6-12, 4-9 GAC) made the first shot of the game, but Southern Nazarene (8-10, 5-8 GAC) was quick to answer.

Southern Nazarene continued to build on its lead and the Tigers went into halftime trailing 47-26.
The Tigers went shot for shot with the Crimson Storm in the second half, outscoring SNU 38-34, but the halftime deficit was too much, and Ouachita fell by the score of 81-64.
