ROMULUS — Xavier Israel scored 19 points, had 8 rebounds and 3 steals, and Ryan Hilton netted 16 with 16 rebounds and the HAC Wolves held off a furious second half rally to defeat Romulus 58-54 in Finger Lakes West Action Friday night.

Maurecio Mercedes-Rivera and Roy Ball led the charge back for the Warriors, scoring a combined 25 second half points. Romulus, which trailed by as 16 points in the first half, trailed 33-20 at intermission.

Romulus eventually took its first lead of the game at 50-49 with less than 2 minutes left on a short putback by Ball.

Romulus, (6-10, 4-9) playing without injured starting point guard Brent Aho, and Ball saddled with early foul trouble, had no answer for the Wolves speed, who raced to their 13-points halftime lead thanks to the hot hand of Zitong Jin who had 13 of those points, including 3 long-range three-pointers. But after the intermission, Ball and his mates stormed back, chipping at the lead, and eventally pulled to within 43-37 after three periods, setting up the frenetic fourth quarter.
