Daryn Hickok started the afternoon off for the Wildcats with a layup, putting Weber State up on the board first.

With six seconds left Eastern Washington's Jamie Loera put up a jumper, and the Eagles led 14-10 headed into the second quarter.
Reclaiming their lead in the second quarter, Weber State went up by one 15-14 with a three-pointer made by Smith. It was a very defensive quarter as there were no baskets made from either team until a pair of free throws were made by the Eagles. Eastern Washington's scoring quickly caught fire after as they went on a nine-point run. Unable to chip away at the lead, Weber State went into the half 19-26.
