In the third quarter, the Vikes struggled to keep their lead. Whitman allowed the Screaming Eagles to put up 21 points and only put up 19 themselves. Whitman kept their lead, finishing the third quarter with a score of 61–55. In the last quarter, the Vikings had a better showing on defense, only allowing 12 points for the Screaming Eagles.
