The Morris lead ballooned to as much as 30 in the first half of play. Defensively Morris held the LumberJacks to 36.1% shooting as they built a 29 point halftime lead.
 
CD Douglas had 15 points in the first half. Joe Roggenbuck had 12 points and Noah Grove added 11 points in the first 20 minutes of play. Northland was held to just three defensive rebounds in the first half.
