Nanyang trailed for most of the game except for one brief moment in the third quarter where they managed to haul themselves intot he lead at 41-40. But their key player Sharlene Huang (#13) was got injured during play and Nanyang lost a dominating presence under the basket and they eventually had no answer to the height and aggression of RGS.
