Waynesburg (5-18, 5-12) fell into a 22-7 hole after 10 minutes of play, but were able to close the gap a bit after outscoring Bethany (14-9, 9-7) 16-13 in the second quarter. Unfortunately, the Bison were able to put the game away in period number three when they exploded for 26 points and built up a 61-38 lead.
