However, the Pioneers finished the half on a high note taking a 35-33 lead into the locker room. Both teams came out strong and played a tight game right up to the final buzzer of the contest with Delta finishing on top 80-79 on a three point basket from the top of the key by Tre Johnson. Johnson led all scorers with 33 points on the afternoon with Aaron Prim and Gabe Blalock adding 10 points apiece. The Skippers were led by Matt VanDyk with 18 points.
