The first half was back and forth with neither team able to get much breathing room. West had five different players score in the first quarter and held a 13-9 lead after the first quarter and a 24-19 lead at the half. In the third quarter, the Dux locked down on defense and held Union to just 7 points, allowing them to stretch their lead to 14 points going into the fourth quarter. Coach Klyn remarked, "The guys got after it in the third. They were tough on the defensive side of the ball and contested every shot, while playing together on offense and sharing the ball, which led to open attempts and layups. It is fun to watch when the ball moves like that." Union was able to close the lead to single digits only once in the fourth, but the Dux quickly responded with a couple of possessions that led to layups, putting the game away. West moved to
