The first quarter started with Concordia coming out strong and taking an early lead over the Wolves which led them to take the first quarter 19-10. Coming into the next quarter the Thunder were on fire and scored 24 points to take the half 43-18. Third quarter saw the Wolves working hard to catch up, scoring 20 points to Thunders 18. Even with that push, we see Thunder keep their lead and take the quarter 61-38. Great back and forth play came in the fourth quarter by both teams but your Thunder found their momentum and outscored the Wolves 26-18 to take the match 84-56.

After the game, Thunder head coach Robbie Valpreda commented, "Credit to NWP Wolves who came out and played hard against us.
