The Warriors took back possession of the lead quickly into the second quarter but were unable to hold onto it as the Urban Knights shooting proficiency matched that of Stan State. A layup and a three-pointer by AAU in the last few minutes of the quarter gave the Urban Knights the advantage before heading into half time.
