SNU outrebounded the Zias, 39-32, and scored 28 points off of 18 ENMU turnovers. SNU shot 49.1 percent from the field and 61.1 percent from 3-point range.

The Storm got a big boost early when Thiam hit a three to spark a 13-2 run to put SNU on top 21-9 with 8:00 left in the first half and SNU was off and running. Southern Nazarene closed out the first half with a 14-0 run as it held a 35-11 lead at the break.
