After going back-and-forth in the early going, York began to pull away midway through the first half after an 8-0 run gave them a 28-17 advantage with 9:11 to play in the half. York continued to tack on to the lead and went up by 19, (46-27) at halftime. The first-half deficit would be too much for the Blood hounds to overcome.
