After LeTourneau trimmed the lead to 74-73, Bryson Johnson made a pair of high pressure free throws with 1:46 left. LeTourneau answered with a basket on its next possession, but the Eagles got another huge bucket from Bowman with 32 seconds left. LeTourneau didn't score again and Johnson had a basket and one free throw to seal the game. Johnson finished with 18 points and Jacobe Davis had 12 off the bench.
