The lead was down to 5 pts and then Perspectives went on a final run ending the hopes of a opening night victory. The Trojans lost by a score of 64-48. This was a rough shooting night as shots would not fall on this evening. The Trojans were led in scoring by Ben Lodewyk (20 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assists) and Joey Davidson (15 pts, 5 rebs).
