Myers scored on back-to-back turnovers to start the scoring for the Gators. The Seawovles proved to be a team that could not miss in the first quarter and shot 8-for-11 from the field including a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arch. Alvarado's three-point shot with 41 seconds left in the quarter made it a two-possession game but a buzzer beater three brought the Seawolves lead back to eight at 23-15. The Gators struggled to connect in the second quarter, only making three baskets and chipping in one basket from the charity strip for seven points in the second quarter. Alaska Anchorage kept its foot on the pedal and took a 42-22 lead into the locker room. The Seawovles would lead by 20+ points the majority of the rest of the game.
