The Pack led by as many as six in the first quarter, but the Bulldogs pulled back within two at the end of the opening stanza, 16-14.  In the second quarter, the Pack fell behind 31-29, but back-to-back buckets from Nadirah Oakman (Jr., Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Knafelc put the Pack in front 33-31 at halftime.
