On the Tuesday, the Pebblebrook Falcons returned to action looking to end a three game losing streak as they visited the Campbell Spartans, who entered the night winners of four in a row, for an early region showdown in which the Falcons would get off to a good start as they were able to close out the opening quarter with a 24-19 lead.

In the second quarter, the Spartans would keep the battle closely with the Falcons, however would still be outscored 15-12 in the period by Pebblebrook, who took a 39-31 lead into the locker room at the half. But in the third quarter, Campbell would get back within five points of the Falcons as they opened the period on a 5-2 run, led by a six point performance by Bernard Harris in the quarter, to cut the Falcons lead and trail 41-36.
