In the 2nd quarter, WP used a 17-0 run to break the game open and lead 36-13 at half. The visiting Wolves found a few better looks at the rim in the second half and matched Warner Pacific's scoring in the 4th quarter, but the Knights added 15 more points to their halftime lead during the 3rd quarter to put the game out of reach. Kasara Brandenberg scored a season high 18 points to lead the Knights.
