As the game settled in, Mobile responded with scoring runs of its own, forcing BMCU to battle possession by possession. 
Baker continued to lead the way for the Toppers, finishing with a game-high 23 points while adding nine rebounds and two steals in an all-around effort.
 Ezzy Yant provided a spark on both ends, scoring 17 points and contributing four rebounds and two steals as Blue Mountain worked to stay within reach.
In the second half, the Toppers continued to compete, answering Mobile baskets with timely offense. 
RJ Robinson delivered key moments for BMCU, totaling 13 points, four rebounds, and a steal, helping keep the game competitive into the later stages.
Despite the strong individual performances and sustained effort, Mobile was able to execute in critical moments to secure the win. 
Blue Mountain showed resilience throughout the night and continued to fight until the final buzzer.
Blue Mountain Christian will look to regroup as they travel to Lipscomb University for an exhibition matchup on Saturday.
