Cal State L.A. held a 38-21 lead at halftime and kept that advantage the rest of the way. A 3-pointer by Gibbons and a layup by Johnson extended the lead to 45-23 with 16 minutes remaining, but the Toros responded by scoring the next five points to slice the deficit to 45-28.

Cal State L.A. then went on a 14-2 run to put the game out of reach.
