Leading scorers – Nagy 14, Freeman 9, Varga 8 (Wolves), Gorrell 19, Bonenberger 18, Ovner 17 (Northumbria)

Turning point – Team Northumbria made their move with a powerful second quarter when they jumped into the box-seat with 27 points during the period and the hosts never recovered.

Key stat – Wolves gave up 17 offensive rebounds and that was far too many in a game of this magnitude.

Game hero(es) – There were a trio of top performances for the visitors, with Alison Gorrell standing out after contributing 19 points, 8 boards and 5 assists. Kara Bonenberger and Evelyn Ovner both racked up double-doubles with the former recording 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Ovner harvested 17 points and 12 boards.
