Connor Kurki poured in 16 of his game high 26 points during that period and Charlie Stockwell added 12 more for the T-Birds.
The Wolves came on strong in the second half and out-scored I-S 48-43. Josh Griesbach led the charge, sinking six 3-point shots and scoring 23 points.

Topping the scoring for Manawa was Griesbach with 29 points, followed by Jeven Sachtjen with 11.
Kurki ended the game with 26 points for I-S, followed by Justin Sivertson with 18 and Stockwell with 16.
