The Eagles nearly matched the Huskies in the third quarter with a 15-13 score in favour of the home side, but the Huskies returned to their offensive and defensive strengths in the fourth quarter with a 27-12 quarter to handily secure the win. 

Williams earned Player of the Game honours for his side while Mingo Jr. earned the accolade for the Eagles.
