Blecha hit a jumper in the final seconds to tie the quarter up 16-16. Blecha opened the second quarter with a three-pointer to reclaim the lead but it quickly went away as the Pioneers scored threes on the next three possessions to lead 27-24. The Gators went cold and only made two more baskets as East Bay pulled away with a 41-29 lead at the end of the second quarter.
