Jaden Terry scored a career-high 32 points while collecting eight boards, four steals and four assists. Kolden Vanlandingham also had a strong day with 15 points and shooting 75% from 3-point range. 

The Quakers jumped out to a lead early in the contest and had a 12-3 advantage after three minutes of play. 

The Quakers shot 46.88% from the field in the first half, and made 4-of-9 attempts from 3-point range in the frame.

Leading 26-14 at the midway point of the half, Earlham gave up a 10-1 run to the Lords which brought the score to 27-24 with 7:35 remaining. 

After the halftime break, the Lords scored 3-pointers on three consecutive possessions to take a 45-44 lead, their first of the contest.
