The teams traded baskets early on Friday night. In total, there were five ties and seven lead changes, most coming early in the first half. A Will Tehan free throw, followed by a Devin Milton jumper and a Zayquan Warren (Brooklyn, N.Y. / Holy Cross) layup gave the Wolves a 25-19 advantage midway through the first. A minute later, a three by Milton pushed the lead to nine. After St. John Fisher cut it back down to a single possession game, 31-28, DJ Billings (Rochester, N.Y. / Greece Odyssey) and Daniel Obunse (Queens, N.Y. / Flushing) made back-to-back threes to widen the margin. A three-point play by Obunse gave the Wolves a 40-29 lead with 6:27 left in the half. The Cardinals rallied in a big way. St. John Fisher scored 19 unanswered over the next 3:26 to tie the game and take an eight-point lead over Keuka. Nana Oteng (Queens, N.Y. / Martin Luther) snapped the run with a pair of free throws, but the Cardinals remained ahead the rest of the half and led 56-47 at the break.

Keuka College battled to say in the game in the second half. Four minutes in, a three by Mason VanDeMortel cut the margin to eight, 65-57. Jahmr Jordan (Albany, N.Y. / Albany) followed that with a three of his own as the game was down to five, but that would be as close as Keuka would make it. The Cardinals opened up a double-digit lead over the Wolves and held on for the 102-86 victory.
