But ACU being ahead lasted just ten seconds as FHU scored the final three points of the half
Dunkley topped ACU with seven points at the break
FHU hit a three and Onakpoma scored in the paint to begin half number two
That three point differential was as close as the Firestorm would creep
With 20 seconds remaining ACU was within six but it was not enough
Both teams made 24 baskets and were both 6-19 from three but FHU went 30-34 at the line
Their 9-0 start will remain the second best start ever for ACU
