-The Wolves closed the stanza on an 8-1 run to take a 31-30 lead into the break, and though UAH would briefly regain the advantage just into the third quarter, a strong push from the hosts allowed West Georgia to go up by as much 10 on its way to holding a 53-45 lead at the end of the frame.
-The lead for the Wolves expanded to as many as 12 in the first minute of the fourth, and though UAH would use a 6-0 run over the next minute to pull within six at 57-51 with 8:01 left in the game, the Chargers could pull no closer the rest of the way.
