First Half


In the opening half, both teams demonstrated their competitive spirit. The Falcons initially took a lead of 5 points but struggled to maintain momentum. Kam Sanders led his team with an impressive performance, contributing 11 points and securing 5 rebounds. Despite Sanders' efforts, turnovers plagued the Academy's game plan as they committed a total of 22 turnovers throughout the match.


The Aztecs capitalized on these mistakes with their aggressive defense and quick transitions. They managed to score numerous fast-break points and ended the first half leading by a significant margin of 45-26.


Second Half


As play resumed in the second half, it became evident that SDSU was determined to maintain control. The Aztec Nation continued their offensive onslaught with efficient shooting from both inside and beyond the arc. Their field goal percentage stood at an impressive 60 percent by game's end.


Lucas Hobin attempted to rally his team by adding another layer of defense; however, it wasn't enough against SDSU's relentless attack which saw them scoring heavily in paint areas—52 points were accumulated there alone during this period!


Despite valiant efforts from players like Ethan Greenberg who scored crucial baskets when needed most (11 total), ultimately it was not enough for victory over such formidable opponents as those found within ranks belonging solely unto themselves: namely - "Aztec Nation."
