Jackl kept the momentum rolling in the second half, starting with a three. Schwartz followed suit with another three, pushing the score to 41-32 with just over twelve minutes left.

Lourdes, however, refused to quit. The Knights made a comeback, tying the game at 47 around the six-and-a-half-minute mark. The teams battled neck and neck, remaining tied at 56 with only one minute left on the clock.
