The Clippers chipped away at the lead scoring the first few baskets in the quarter, but the Kodiaks pushed on and continued shooting well from deep and playing good defence. Briercrest couldn't overcome it and the Kodiaks went home with an 83-63 win.

The player of the game award for the Clippers went to #11 Brandon Tolentino who had 21 points along with 11 rebounds. For Lethbridge, the award went to #3 Chase Bohne who recorded 21 points 2 steals and 3 assists.

After the game, Tolentino had this to say; "The second half we turned the ball over a little too much and they shot the ball really well, and that's why they beat us".
