The Spartans played strong throughout the second half holding on to their lead as ten players were involved in the scoring action.  Chad Williams scored nine points while hitting 6-6 from the free throw line.  Chris Williams added seven points and four rebounds for the Spartans.  STAC won the battle on the boards, 34-29.
