Sheridan College used some hot 3 point shooting to head into the locker room at the half up 56-48. The Generals continued to light it up from distance and started the second half on an 11-0 run the Thunderbirds would not recover from. Sheridan shot over 50% from the field and nailed 12 three pointers to cruise to a 108-83 win. Montel Carlow led the way for the Thunderbirds with 25 points, Chay York finished with 14, and Dante' Fischer reached double figures with 10.
