ALC went toe-to-toe with an out of conference opponent in Milligan. ALC was looking for revenge against the Buffaloes. Alice Lloyd got off to a good start, however, Milligan fought their way back and took a 32-31 lead in the waning moments of the first half. ALC reeled off a 10-1 run to end the half as the home team took a 41-33 lead into the locker room.

In the second stanza, ALC seemed to be in control. The Eagles manned a double-digit lead on the Buffaloes. Unfortunately, the hosts could not hang on to their advantage. With time winding down in the last seconds, Milligan’s Kurt Brooks gave the Buffaloes their first lead in the second half. MC would stay ahead for good.
