Albemarle's win was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-3.
Albemarle and Godwin were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, but Albemarle came up empty-handed after a 66-65 defeat. Can Albemarle avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
