The game writeup is here.

Central Florida led by four at one time, but DT-3 ended the first half with a 31-29 lead in front of a sparse crowd of 355. The visiting exhibition team began to pull head, leading by as much as 13 points at one time in the second half. Central Florida never regained the lead, and DT-3 cruised to a second straight victory.

DT-3's field goal shooting is still rather suspect - 38 percent compared to Central Florida's 43 percent. Furthermore, Central Florida dominated DT-3 in rebounding, 53 to 33. Unfortunately, Central Florida would have a harder time hanging onto the ball, making 25 turnovers to DT-3's 16. DT-3 also had an edge at the free throw line, hitting 17 out of 23 shots.

So how well did Nikki Teasley do? She led all players on both teams with 24 points. She was much more efficient than she was against the Florida team, taking 24 shots (16 FG, 8 FT) to make those 24 points. Twenty of those points would be scored in the second half after starting with just 1-for-8 shooting.
