The Thunderbirds built an eight-point lead over the Wolves late in the first half before taking a 33-27 lead at the break.
Iola-Scandinavia quickly pushed the lead to 11 points after opening the second half with a 7-2 run. The Wolves cut the deficit to 47-39 with six straight points, but the Thunderbirds responded with a 12-2 run and closed the game by outscoring the home team 18-7.
Alex Robbins scored 16 of 23 game-high points in the first half to lead the Thunderbirds, while Ryan Thulien and Landan Fuhs chipped in with 14 and 10 points, respectively.
Brayden Zielke led Manawa with 19 points.
The Thunderbirds improved to 7-3 in conference play and 12-5 overall, while the Wolves fell to 1-9 in the CWC-East and 6-11 overall.
