The Warriors had a blistering start in the 2nd quarter scoring 7 unanswered points in the first minute, setting the tone for the 2nd quarter and going on to win the quarter 24 - 12. Half time score 47 - 28.

Vikings still kept a positive mindset and with some key adjustments on the defensive end and playing a more physical style of basketball won the third quarter 15 - 11.

Having found a defence that worked, the Vikings continued putting a strong effort on the defensive end holding the Warriors to 15 points. However, on the offensive end the York team struggled to make their shots only scoring 6 points. As a result, the Mandela Warriors took the win.
