Marcus Williams and Xavier Blount each scored 20 points to lead the Apaches past Scottsdale. Ray Marshall followed with 17 points, Brandon MacLellan and Diggs Moikobu each had 12.
The Apaches led 44-39 at the half and pulled away down the stretch.
“The last 10 minutes of the game we really stretched (the lead),” Cochise head coach Jerry Carrillo said. “It’s a testament to our guys. We had two good practices and the guys really locked in.”
On Saturday the Apaches battled back from a 48-38 halftime deficit to take a 64-62 lead at the midway point of the second half enroute to the win.
Derek Lane came off the bench in the second half to hit two critical 3-pointers sparking the Apaches
Blount led Cochise in scoring with 25 points followed by Williams with 16. Marshall and MacLellan each had 10 and Lane finished with eight.
The Apaches, 18-4 overall, 13-2 in league play, stay tied atop the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference standings, along with Arizona Western and Mesa.
Cochise has the tiebreaker edge over those teams because of head-to-head victories over both.
Cochise travels to Chandler-Gilbert on Wednesday before returning home to host Eastern Arizona on Saturday.
