How It Happened
- The Mounties held the early advantage at the beginning of the game, with the score 16-8 after the first five minutes. They would keep the lead for a significant portion of the half until Westminster made a charge of its own at the end of the period. Westminster closed with nine unanswered points for a halftime score of 36-30, with the Titans ahead.
- In the early stages of the second half, Westminster stretched the lead to 11. Mount Aloysius, however, recovered and cut the lead to just two points at the 18 minute mark. A minute later, the Mounties would take the lead for the first time since the first half on a three-pointer by Britt.
- Westminster recovered and took the slight lead with the Mounties staying close behind. The Mounties then went on a run that included three-pointers by Britt and Coronado, and an emphatic dunk by Quarcoo, to give the Mounties an eight-point lead, 66-58. The Mounties maintained the advantage until the final minute of the game.
- At the end of the game, Westminster's Daniel Ritter hit a go-ahead three-pointer to give Westminster a one-point edge. With just eight seconds remaining, the Mounties called a timeout to set up a final play. Britt quickly passed the ball to Palacio in the paint, who hit a turnaround jumper over two defenders. A last-second desperation three by Westminster was off the mark, giving the Mounties the win, 79-78.
