Lamar started out with a quick three-pointer to take the opening lead, but then between turnovers and missed shots NWST went on an eleven-point run to go up eight points before Lamar scored again. Lamar got down by as much as eleven points before finally starting to get stops and scoring themselves to come all the way back and get out to a five point lead. Then the Cards' got sloppy again and went down by eight before closing out the half down by six. Lamar doing good on the offensive boards, but too many turnovers (11) and too many times giving up baskets in the paint.
