Clementi Sports Hall, Thursday, April 30, 2015 — Anderson Junior College (AJC) beat National Junior College (NJC) 75–67 to top Group B in the first round of the National A Division Basketball Championship.

With the win, AJC will head into the second round with a perfect 4–0 win-loss record, while NJC will also advance as this is their only loss.

Lim Teck Leong (NJC #8) looked to set the tone early in the quarter, converting a wide open three-pointer right after the tip-off to give NJC a 3–0 lead.

Both teams traded baskets in the first quarter but NJC pulled away slightly to finish the quarter with a 14–10 lead.

Lim Teck Leong (AJC #8) checked into the game to give Jason Lee (AJC #6) some rest time and he gave AJC the 18–16 lead through two consecutive three-pointers.

Dylan Lee (AJC #12) added a three pointer to give AJC a narrow 28–26 lead at the end of the half.

AJC pulled away in the fourth period, leading by double digits for the last five minutes.
