Sean Register Jr. scored 24 points to lead Eastern Florida State College while teammate Jevon Yapi had a season-high 16 points off the bench. Tyson Wilson had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Jalexs Ewing led all scorers with 28 points for South Georgia Tech. The Jets evened the series after falling to the Titans at the Eastern Florida Classic.
