In the third, Bradley chipped in six more points as Salamanca outscored Falconer 15-9, widening their advantage to double-digits entering the final quarter of play.
Closing out the game with stellar work at the free throw line, Hill carried the Warriors over the finish line with nine of their 15 points in the final quarter.
