The Timberwolves found their groove in the second quarter with a 7-0 run, after putting pressure on the Cascades' offence. Robin and Nijjar were big for the Timberwolves each netting seven points in the second.

At the break the UFV Cascades led 49-33 over the Timberwolves.

The third quarter saw much of the same as the Cascades controlled the play as UNBC battled to keep pace. The fourth quarter is where the Timberwolves finally found their stride. Pudlas was instrumental in UNBC outscoring the Cascades 23-15 in the final 10 minutes but their fourth quarter push was not enough to overcome UFV's lead. At the end of the game the Cascades came out on top 88-75 over the Timberwolves.
