David Vander Schaaf added nine for the Knights (6-4 overall).
“We were down 18-12 after one,” RC head coach Ron Vander Molen said. “But we outscored them 22-8 in the second quarter.
“Arie’s outside shooting gave us a boost, and our trapping defense caused a number of turnovers.
“We had a lot of good passing tonight, and we were able to break their press.”
Both Goslinga and Den Dulk were named to the All Tournament team.
