Over the course of the next ten minutes, the host Golden Eagles out-dueled UMKC 26-11 and eventually built a 26 point cushion with five minutes to go.

The 'Roos had one last scoring spree left in them, putting together a 14-0 run with time winding down, but it was too little, too late as ORU held on for the 11 point win.

Five Golden Eagles finished with double-digit scoring in the win, as Kevi Luper added 17, points, Jordan Pyle tacked on 13, Jaci Bigham chipped in 12 and Christian Key rounded out the group with 10.
