"We really didn't have a point guard out there because of an injury," said Roadrunners Head Coach Matt Brown. "That makes a big difference. Hats off to Link Year Prep; they did a good job; they were ready to play, and we weren't."

Bikoy led SFCC in scoring with 19 points. Smith contributed 18 points and led in assists with five and steals with six. Ellis scored 16 points. Gayman pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.
