Trailing 9-0 to start the contest, the Bulldogs broke out of an early scoring drought to cut the Pioneer lead to 18-11 following a Shy bucket.  However, the momentum immediately shifted back towards WPU following a 12-0 response.  The Pioneers would lead by as many as 39 points in the second half.  

WPU was led by Domenic Mignone's game-high 20 points, including 12 on four three-point makes on the evening.
