Garber and Frankenmuth joined up for a great game Tuesday night at the Duke gym. Sporting a short bench made shorter due to the injury to sophomore sharp shooter, CJ Glaza, the seven member squad jumped out to an early lead. But as both teams defenses tightened, Frankenmuth chipped away at the Duke lead to pull within two points, 10-8.

The second period saw both teams work their half court offenses with an occasional fast break. Knotted at 16, Garber hit a cold spell midway through the period while they rested senior center, Tyler Schroeder. Frankenmuth took advantage of his absence by pulling ahead by 6, 22-16. Reinstating Schroeder, the Dukes roared back to within two points before the Eagles scored the final basket to take a 26-22 halftime lead. Both teams started the third period defensively strong. Denying inside penetration, both teams were forced to the perimeter. Garber went cold getting good looks that just didn't fall for points. With the score seemingly frozen at 32-30, Frankenmuth nailed two quick buckets in the last thirty five seconds to pull ahead 36-30.

Patience was the story to start the final period. There Eagles switched to a four corner perimeter offense to take control of the game. While spreading out the Duke defense, it allowed the Eagles to find an open man or find someone slashing to the basket. This technique helped Frankenmuth pull ahead 46-35. Garber fought back when a couple three pointers drew them within five points. But Garber could not get all the way back as Frankenmuth hung on for a 50-46 win.
