A pair of three balls by Kyion Flanders (Wildwood/Wildwood), one by Milo De Los Santos (Hopewell Valley/Hopewell Valley) and a layup by Jonathan Azoroh (Ewing/Ewing) pushed the home squad to a 53-43 lead with 11:26 left.
 
DeSales cut the lead to 53-49 but that was as close as they would come. Over the final 10:33 of the game, Stockton outscored the Bulldogs 30-11 to run away with the 80-63 victory.
