  • Both teams went through a scoring drought and UNO was able to tie the game, 16-16, before Brady Spence scored four points to help the Bulldogs push the lead back to 22-16.

  • The Bulldogs got things going offensively early in the second half as Maynard scored five quick points, and Austin Ash followed with five of his own to tie the game at the under-16 media.
  • The momentum continued out of the timeout as Ash sparked a 14-0 Bulldog run that pushed the advantage to 10 points.
  • UNO would attempt to keep it close as Jordan Johnson hits a trio of three-pointers, but the Bulldogs would make their free throws down the stretch to secure the road victory.
