New Life chipped away at the lead and knotted the game at 48-48 on a baseline drive by Paul Brown with 2:52 remaining. The Warriors finally regained the lead 54-52 when Paul Brown stole an errant pass and raced up the court for the lay in. With 1:07 remaining, David Haas drove the left side of the lane hitting a 4 foot jumper and was fouled on the play. He converted the free throw to give the Eagles the 55-54 margin. On the ensuing possession, Jared Houseman was blocked by Bruce Pavlus under the basket. New Life grabbed the loose ball and fed it right back to Houseman who was fouled on the shot attempt. With 38 seconds to play, Houseman hit one out of two and the game was tied 55-55. Bruce Pavlus missed a contested shot for the Eagles next possession and Brown grabbed the rebound and called time out. New Life set up a final play. After running down the clock, Travis Lyon took the ball in the right corner, drove towards the lane and made a perfect shovel pass to Houseman who layed it in for the score with 5 seconds to play. Mike Gorman’s desperation three fell short and New Life won the game advancing to the final game against River Valley.
