The Warriors were dominant on both ends of the floor in the opening quarter. Defensively, the Orange and Black forced rushed possessions and contested shots for Lourdes, holding them to 8 points. On the other end of the floor, Tech efficiently found good looks at the rim thanks to ball movement and consistent cuts, resulting in half the Warrior's baskets being assisted on their way to a 21-8 lead to end the first. In the second quarter, the Gray Wolves found more of a rhythm offensively, converting on 3 of their 4 attempts from beyond the three-point line, accounting for 9 of their 15 points. Defensively, the Warriors kept up the pressure in the second quarter, forcing 5 of the 15 Gray Wolves turnovers, but the offense stuttered as their shooting percentage dropped from 62% in the first to 28% in the second, allowing Lourdes to cut the lead to 5 heading into the midway point.

Offensively, the Warriors had an upswing, scoring 23 points, while the Gray Wolves were held to 6 points, reestablishing the Warrior's double-digit lead.
