How It Happened
The Spartans took the largest lead of the first half when they went up by six (10-4) with 16:42 left on an Aleks Smith layup. The Lions fought back and went up by four (42-38), their largest advantage of the half, with a Chase McWhite layup. From there, the Spartans finished the first half on a 9-2 run to take a 49-44 advantage in the locker room and closed out a half which saw nine lead changes.

York went ahead by nine in the first minute of the second half, but their lead slowly declined as the half wore on and the Spartans finished the second half shooting just 28.2% from the field. Aside from one tie with 13:16 left, the Spartans held the upperhand all the way to the 2:39 mark when Albright mounted a 8-0 run to go ahead, 83-77 with 1:13 to play. York struggled to muster up any late magic and were limited to just four points in the final four minutes as their three-game win streak came to a close.
