Opening the contest before a packed Rick Kaps Gym crowd, webb canned a pair of triples, Frank Catelli scored two baskets inside the paint and Jayson Brocklesby hit for 5 points as the Wolves jumped ahead 15-6 in the early going.
The Riders countered, hitting the last 7 points of the first period and closed to within two at 15-13 at the first buzzer.
Keenan Walker had 5 of his 7 points before intermission and scored a basket early in the second quarter that completed an 11-0 Rider run with the visitor's ahead 17-15.
