The YellowJackets built an early 11-2 lead on the host Warriors until a 14-2 run put the home team ahead for the rest of the contest. In the run, the Warriors' Travis Garrett hit back-to-back 3 pointers and Luke Vance scored on a pair of layups.
 
The Warriors (2-1) were led by its strong presence that landed three players in double figures including Hank Aldous, who scored a game-high 22. He was joined in double digits by Alec Conrad (17 points and 13 rebounds) and Vance, who added 11.
 
Trailing 50-32 with 12:44, LeTourneau began to mount a comeback when Talbert hit a transition 3 pointer that saw the YellowJackets score 27 of the next 39 points to cut the deficit to 62-59 with 4:14 to play. In the spurt, junior Chris Hynes had seven points for LETU. The Warriors withstood the comeback by the YellowJackets as they scored the next six points to end the comeback effort.
