After falling behind 59-55 with less than 2 minutes to play in the overtime session, the Sharks went on a 9-0 run to hold off Westside to earn their 17th victory on the season against but 2 defeats. The Sharks had to overcome some deadly out court shooting from Westside as the visitors stayed in the contest by converting 9 of their made baskets from 3-point country.

After a pair of made Westside free throws, Nuhu was fouled with less than 4 second to go. Israel cashed in one of his two free throws that would prove to be the difference in the game as a desperation shot from midcourt swished through the basket as the horn sounded to make the final score read Ponte Vedra 65 Westfield 64.
