After absorbing the MAU 12-0 run in the third, the Terriers played the Patriots even the rest of the contest but could not get over the double digit hill as MAU managed the lead well in the fourth to close out their 6th win of the season.
Dearborn led all scorers on the evening with 27 points. Cole Moore added 13 and Clark 11.
