After trailing 3-0 Lincoln Land put together a 9-0 run and never looked back. Although only up 10 at half, the deficit could have been much more. Any chance of the game remaining close was put away early in the second frame as LLCC again went on a 9-0 run to get up by 20 early, with 12:00 to go the Loggers led by a game high of 25 and the Cougars never threatened again.
