The game started off slowly for the Trojans, as they missed a couple of easy shots early in the first minute and a half, and Coach Brent Barker called a time-out. Once the Trojans retook the court, they were off to the races, racing to a 7-0 lead with 4:30 left in the 1st, and there was only 2:56 left in the 1st Quarter before John Bapst scored their first point on a free throw, and at that time MDI was leading 14-1.
