Salve Regina guard Isiah Pringle (Queens, N.Y./Brewster Academy) led all scorers with 24 points on 9-of-18 shooting including a 6-for-8 performance from long distance, three rebounds and two assists. First-year guard Bryce Boggs (Hyde Park, Mass./Tabor Academy) had 19 points and Adam Quinlan (East Walpole, Mass./Walpole) and Brenden Fowler (North Attleboro, Mass./Bishop Feehan) both tallied 12 points apiece.

The Seahawks shot 44.9-percent (31-for-69) from the field, 34.8-percent (8-for-23) from long range, held a slight 45-44 edge in the rebounding department and also posted a 22-11 margin in points off turnovers. The Lyons shot 35.1-percent (20-for-57) from the field and 71.9-percent (23-for-32) at the free throw line.

Down 51-50 at the 15:02 mark of the second half after a Mike Cannon (New York, N.Y./Hyde School) jumper, Wheaton used an 8-4 run to take a 58-55 advantage. Capstick and senior guard Mike O'Loughlin (Milford, N.H./Milford) canned a pair of free throws, while Fogarty buried a jump shot at 13:14 and Cannon capped the spurt with a layup at 11:54.
