Benny Chargualaf added 11 points scoring eight of them in the second half. Galo Buluran paced Guam EPA with 15 points.
GWA, who had a commanding 13 point lead going into the half, would be pressured by the EPA defense and would allow the EPA team to get back into the game. But with time expiring GWA would make a couple of easy lay-ups to seal the victory. Guam EPA drops to two and three on the season.
