The Warriors went for 16 points in the opening quarter, while Tae'Shawn Shelton and Kyler Trice knocked down the only field goals of the opening frame.
Not much changed in the second quarter as Riverdale steamed ahead on a 15-5 run, with Malek Johnson knocking down a three-pointer for the Eagles just before halftime.
In the third, the Eagles held Riverdale to eight points, but still just struggled to get shots to fall.
