The Devils were on a 3 game win streak but the Highline Thunderbirds were determined to end that on Saturday, January 26, at Highline College. In total, the lead changed ten times but in the end, Highline came out on top with a final score of 79-65.
Devonte Dennis put LCC within 4 after a 3-pt shot at the 3:00 min mark. Unfortunately, that would be as close as the Devils would get as the Thunderbirds outscored the Devils 12-2 in the last 3 minutes.
