After a missed three by Justin Malnerich (Cambridge/St. Benedict's Catholic Secondary School), Evan Rodenburg (Cambridge/St. Benedict's Catholic Secondary School) collected the offensive rebound and converted the layup to give the Warriors a 9-point lead. Simon Petrov (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) then sparked two more quick buckets on the fast break to extend the Warriors' lead to 33-20. The Lancers, however, went on a 12-4 run to end the half. In the last possession of the half, Windsor's Marcus Jones drove into the paint, drew multiple defenders, and kicked it out to an open Lucas Orlita. who drained a last-second three to tie the game 45-45 at halftime.

Back-to-back layups by Simon Petrov (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) at the end of the run forced the Lancers to call a timeout midway through the quarter. The Warriors soon landed in foul trouble, picking up 4 straight fouls, but the Lancers only managed to cash in 3 points at the charity stripe. The Warriors would hold onto a 75-70 lead over Windsor after 30 minutes.
 
Early in the 4th quarter, Nedim Hodzic (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) extended the lead to 6, but the Lancers began chipping away. A three by Windsor's Marcus Jones forced Warriors coach Justin Gunter to call a timeout halfway through the period.  Anthony Zrvnar then scored the Lancers' next 5 points to give Windsor an 86-84 lead, their first lead of the half. Another Marcus Jones three later in the quarter extended Windsor's lead to 97-91, their biggest of the game.
 
With 49 seconds remaining, Nedim Hodzic (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) made a layup over a falling Mike Rocca to bring the Warriors within 2. With the opportunity to tie the game, Colin Connors (St. Johns/Gonzaga High (Brock)) stripped the ball from Marcus Jones, but missed the ensuing layup attempt. The Lancers also failed to score on their next possession. Sprinting down the court as the seconds counted down, Simon Petrov (Waterloo/Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary) missed a last second layup, sealing the Lancers'win.
