The Generals (12-10, 10-6 ODAC) held a 10-point lead, 41-31, at intermission and then junior guard Richie Manigault (Stewartsville, N.J./Phillipsburg) opened the second with six straight points to balloon the margin to 47-31 with 17:48 left in the contest.
 
The advantage was 17 (60-43) following a triple by WildCats' (6-18, 3-13 ODAC) sophomore guard Jordan Phillips-McLoyd with 9:27 remaining in the game. W&L put the game away for good over the next two minutes, ripping off 10 straight points with senior forward Gus Wise (Winchester, Va./John Handley) capping off the run with a three pointer.
 
The lead never dropped below 20 points the rest of the way, as the Blue and White cruised to victory.
