The Spartans came out strong in the 3rd quarter and jumped ahead by 2 points going into the fourth. The game was back and forth in the 4th quarter and the Spartans were able to tie the game just before the buzzer sounded.

Ian Comer led the Wildcats with 20 points on the evening and also in rebounds with 15 boards in the game. Kaiden Abasolo also broke into double digits with 16 points and had 9 rebounds in the game.
