The visitors answered with their very own 7-0 run (32-38), finished off by Princeton Onwas’ layup.

Two free throws by David Ulph made it a one-point game (37-38) with five minutes left until the half.

Second Half:

Despite a quick 5-0 run by Cheshire to start the second half, Caledonia managed to keep their opponents at bay and increased their lead to a game-high 14 points (46-60) when Lukas Palyza drained the triple.

The Czech forward then connected from downtown once again a couple of possessions later, giving his side an even larger lead (51-68), with just under five left to play in the third.

The home side hadn’t given up however and with an 11-5 run to close out the period managed to make it an 11-point game going into the final 10 minutes (62-73), after Ej Stephens drained the long-range jumper.
