Nunzio Lombardozzi pitched in three assists, two steals and six rebounds for the Tigers. The second half was just about even as Wellsville put up 33-points while Beaver Local added 34 to their total but the onslaught of points in the first half was enough for a comfortable pace to end the game for the Tigers.

Zach Murray also added hit six shots and two three-pointer to bring his total to 18. The combo led the Beavers under the boards as Lynch pulled down seven rebounds while Murray added eight.
