Ravens almost got a scare on the night, when in another game without Coach, Darcel Harris they struggled against the Georgetown Masters, eventually eking out a 65-62 win in the final minutes of an encounter that featured an aging Masters team.
In fact, the Master led throughout the game after taking the first quarter 18-16; the Masters then led at halftime 32-26 and 47-43 after the penultimate period. It is in the final quarter that Ravens managed to stave off the team from yesteryear in the tournament.
Jermaine Slater dominated the boards for 17 points with Dominic Vincente adding 10 points to control the offence for Ravens. Aubrey Young and Lugard Mohan had a good night against their former team before becoming RIBA referees with 19 and 16 points respectively.
