After exchanging the lead many times, the Wolverines took off at the 6:06 mark with a 12-0 run to take the half leading 33-23.

Early in the second half, Woody and Lancaster narrowed the gap with a jump shot and a three-point shot. The Wolverines continued to hold the Mustangs off as the clock dropped. Broderick Hill (Largo, MD/Bishop McNamara) added three points for the Mustangs to close the gap to 44-40 at 12:47. Wesley went on another run to extend their lead to an eventual final score of 75-59.
