Stacy led AACC with 18 points, including a 6-for-7 performance at the free-throw line, and added two steals. Marbley knocked down three 3-pointers on his way to 11 points and three assists, while Jones scored eight points before fouling out late.
Anne Arundel shot 38.7% from the floor and hit six three-pointers, while also recording 13 assists on 24 made field goals. Al-Ameen Sanni anchored the interior with eight rebounds and a team-high five assists.
