Four GBCC starters finished in double digit scoring led by Theodore Wolf's 18—he leads the conference averaging 26.4 ppg. Ethan May stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and five steals.

SMCC remains winless at 0-9 overall, 0-5 in YSCC play. GBCC sits atop the conference table at 7-2.
