Guardians got off to the perfect start as the first period ended 22-18.
However, Eagles secured the lead heading into the halftime interval, outscoring Guardians 16-11 as the second quarter ended 34-33.
Nevertheless, a second half offensive blitz would ensure Guardians walked away with the title.

The victory was then sealed in the fourth quarter as Guardians amassed 21 points compared to the paltry 11 points of Eagles.
