Decatur closed the gap to two, 11-9, in the second quarter on a free-throw by Chandler Young. Young’s free throw followed three straight jumpers hit by Jordan Alker, who led Decatur with eight points.
Bridgeport took a 15-9 lead into halftime and led by eight going into fourth quarter, 25-17.
Bridgeport built the lead to 12, 35-23, on a free-throw by Presley White with 1:50 left.
