SAIT held Ambrose to just four made field goals in the second, limiting them to 13 points in the quarter. Anegor Wol scored 6 of the Trojans' 17 points to give them a two-point lead heading into halftime.

Ambrose's starting five carried them to victory in the fourth, combining for 23 of the Lion's 25 in the quarter. SAIT could only muster 15 as the Lions ended up with the five-point win.
