Shenango would cut the lead to four points late in the half, before a basket by Colden George closed out the period with the Devils leading, 30-24.

The Devils' biggest lead of the game of 11 points came at the 13:19 mark of the second. A three pointer by Roberts followed by a traditional three-point play put the home team up, 42-31.

Shenango would fight back and eventually pull within a point. Back-to-back three pointers by Shenango's Tyler James and Donovan Verges made it 45-44 with 7:04 to play. Shenango would cut the lead to a single point two minutes later, but the Devils punched back with an 8-0 run that would put the game away.

The Devils trailed in the battle of the boards, 44-39, but only allowed Shenango to get to the free throw line two times the entire game. The Devils were 12-of-20 at the charity stripe.

The Devils had eight steals to Shenango's two. The Devils were 22-of-62 from the floor, and the Lions shot 22-of-59.
