WestConn jumped out to an early 18-10 lead. St. Joseph's trimmed it to 18-16 when Tracy converted a three-ball but that would be the closest they would come the rest of the way. 

The Wolves poured it on the rest of the opening frame, snagging a 46-21 lead at halftime when Jones drilled a shot from beyond-the-arc. The Bears could not recover as WestConn finished off the game with their largest lead of the contest, a 46-point advantage, rounding the count out at 87-41.
