The third quarter was not much different than the second, with the Stampede outscoring the Mad Ants 32-21 and Jackson doing most of the scoring for the visiting team. Jackson scored 10 straight points for during the last 1:34 of the third quarter to give Idaho an 83-70 advantage heading into the final period.
The Mad Ants were able to respond in the fourth quarter as they outscored Idaho 24-15, but the effort was not enough to overcome Jackson and the Stampede. Idaho’s record improves to 8-0 on the season.
The Mad Ants are back in action tomorrow in Delaware against the 87ers.
