Down by a 43-28 score, the Wolves got their offensive attack going when Bauer hit two three-pointers and Cory Martell accounted for a steal and drive.

A basket by Blount off a pass from Martell and a 16-footer by Juliun Benson pulled the Wolves to 45-40 with still five minutes to play.

After a three-pointer by Silk kept the Wolves close at 49-43 with 4:24 left, the Scotties used free-throw shooting along with the scoring of Wyatt Babb to put in the game’s next eight points.

Three-pointers by Bauer and Blount got the Wolves as close as 64-51 in the final minute.
