The contest was controlled by the Oilers from the beginning.  Both teams struggled offensively at the beginning, and NDC took their lone lead of the contest, 2-1 just two and a half minutes in on a layup from Geovonte Rose. However, Findlay responded quickly and found their stride.  The Oilers were up, 16-4, at the 13:32-mark, and never lost control.

"It was a complete lack of effort on our behalf tonight," said Head Coach Kevin Bille.  "You play how you practice, and thats sometihng we must correct moving forward." 

The Falcons will be in action again on Saturday, Dec. 1, when they square off against Hiram at Murphy Gymnasium.  The contest is scheduled for a 4 p.m. tilt.
