Huntington played a relaxed game against a Chicago team that came to play and shot well, when they had the chance. With the score tied and 2:33 to go, the Eagles tried to wait for a good shot, but 2 missed Free Throws by Matt Weaver at 1:38 gave the Crusaders the same opportunity. A crucial steal by Caleb Featherston at 1:31 gave the Eagles hope, but a turnover at 1:20 put the Crusaders back in charge. Matt Weaver intercepted a pass at 36 seconds and the Eagles took a time out at 33. As he clocked ticked down, Caleb started his drive at 6 seconds, a bounce pass to Samuel Daniels cutting across the base line at 2 seconds allowed a perfect floater to beat the buzzer.
