First Half
SF State hit the first 3-pointer of the game, but Stan State responded immediately as Lloyd French buried a pair of triples and then converted a jumper to spark an early run.

Stan State shot 7-of-8 at the stripe in the second half and finished 10-of-13 for the game, helping hold off the Gators' comeback attempt and seal the 65-56 final.
