The Spartans had a controlled attack throughout the game, having four of the five starters finish with double-figures. Senior forward Ryan Miles dropped 20, junior guard Mitchell January added 12, and senior forward Isaiah Casey Hammond chipped in with eight points of his own. But, it was senior guard Lamar Grayson stepping up for Richfield when it mattered most. Grayson scored three of the last four buckets for Richfield, including a game-clinching and-one layup.

Haskins finished with a game-high 26 for DeLaSalle. Senior guard Evan Boyd scored 16 and sophomore guard Nasir Whitlock chipped in with 10 points for the Islanders.

DeLaSalle drops to 5-2, while Richfield improves to 6-1.
