In the second half, the Dolphins worked hard to chip away at the lead pulling to within one after a 3-pointer from

The Dolphins would take the lead after a 3 from Ferebee gave the team a 49-46 lead, but the Ephs would tie it back up on the next possesion with a three of their own.
Madison Martinez would hit two free throws to pull the Dolphins back within one at 62-61, but that would be as close as they would get the rest of the game as the Ephs ended the game on an 7-1 run to win 69-62.
