However, the Bulldogs came back to take a one point lead at the end of the third, behind senior combo guard Dequan Powell’s 11 points. Down one, Loyola’s sophomore point guard and CMU commit Perrie Mitchell missed a driving lay-up attempt with time expiring to give Union the win.
Game Three New Haven 64 Yspilanti Lincoln 46.

Game Four Ann Arbor Pioneer 72 Conerstone 57
This game was nip-and-tuck through three quarters. Then the Pioneers pulled away late. Cedric Benton had 19 points, fellow junior guard Deric Murray also played solid for the Pioneers. Freshman Drew Louder was impressive as well. Pioneer moved to 2-0 on the season as they defeated Ann Arbor Skyline in overtime the night before.
