To start the second half, Concordia shut down the Coyotes offense and were able to extend their lead. With ten minutes left in the game the Bulldogs held a 64-43 lead.

Over the next four minutes, Concordia outscored the Coyotes 15-6. The Bulldogs had complete control of the game by that point and Concordia strolled to a 36-point victory.

Junior Chandler Folkerts led Concordia with 19 points. Senior Jamie Pearson and junior Eli Ziegler both had double figure points and finished with 17 and 10 points respectively.
