Javier Lopez also had a good night, finishing with 19 points, while Lane Branstetter added 11.

A young Hoopa team led by one point after the opening quarter and continued to push the Wildcats with their best performance of the season.

Daniel Minton led the Warriors offensively with 19 points, while Lane Campbell added 14 and Brendan Baldy had 11.
