With 17 seconds left, Lamoille finally scored, but was answered with a three-pointer by Kyle Connolly.

With five minutes left in the quarter, Randolph led by only three, 17-14. However, David Cooch and Zack Allard both scored lay-ups to put the Ghosts ahead by seven, and Randolph led 25-18 at halftime.

Randolph led 45-31 after three quarters. Jon White hit a fast-break lay-up and a pair of free throws to put the Ghosts up by 17 early in the fourth quarter.
