DES MOINES, IA - The 2011 NBA D-League Champion Iowa Energy couldn't overcome an 11 point halftime deficit as the Erie BayHawks defeated the Energy 97-87 Sunday night. The win gave Erie a split of the two game weekend series with Iowa.

After an even 3rd quarter, Iowa used an 11-3 run to cut the Erie lead to 83-76 with 6:50 left in the game. Just as the momentum appeared to be in the Energy's favor, Thompson drilled a 3-pointer that started a 7-0 run for the BayHawks to put the game away for the visitors.

Donald Sloan led Erie with 21 points and 7 assists while center Chris Daniels added 15 points and 13 rebounds. The win moves Erie to 2-3 on the season.
