SAR defeated North Shore in a very hard fought battle, 51-45.  North Shore came out aggressive and led by as much as 8 in the first half.  SAR flew back with a 6-0 run to close the half and was down by 1 point.  The Sting came out flying to start the second half, leading by 9, before North Shore came right back.  The rest of the game was tightly contested.  North Shore was led by Ben Falack's 18 points and Ari Tuerack's 12 points and tenacious defense.  SAR, points-wise, was led by Akiva Schanzer's 12 and Nitty Hyman's 11 but it was Moshe Spirgel's 8, including 6 in the final two minutes, that was the catalyst for the Sting victory.
