     Though both teams played to a 13-13 tie after one quarter, a 13-0 run by the Rockets late in the second frame proved to be enough to blast Clarksburg to the win.

But, a pair of Erin Harris layups gave the lead back to the Rockets and sparked a 13-0 run that was capped by a pair of Matt Simpson treys to give the Rockets a 28-18 lead with just under two minutes left in the half.
