The Yeomen got off to a hot start in the opening minutes of the game, as Dorde Otasevic set the pace with four-straight points in the early goings. Darien Knowles followed that up with the game's first three-pointer to put Oberlin ahead 7-2. Wolf Moser hit back-to-back jumpers, but the Wooster squad crept their way back into the fight as they cut the home team's lead to one. Not to be outdone, Andrew Gannon found Otasevic behind the arch to regain the four-point lead. Midway through the half, the Fighting Scots took their first lead of the night on a three-pointer to sit at 18-17.

With a double-digit lead, Wooster slowed the pace of the game and doubled down on defense to hold the Yeomen scoreless until Moser hit another three to end the drought. With ten minutes remaining, Dimitrije Radusinovic came alive to sink back-to-back buckets as Oberlin behind the lead. The Crimson and Gold were unable to create any offense until Otasevic scored on a fast break created by a steal from Moser.
