Credit Munoz for holding his team together as the Wolverines settled down to take command of the game in the final minutes of the half. He nailed three 3-pointers and added much needed pressure on defense for Harvard-Westlake, sparking a 25-7 second quarter run that helped the Woverines take a 40-32 lead at halftime.
