but a three to Campbell and free-throws to Dave Gruber and Coenraad soon had Wollongong back within three.
Young bounced back from two-straight poor passes to score with just under four minutes to go to put Perth back up 67-62.
Redhage and Coenraad then scored at either end before a wide open Damian Martin hit a three for Perth to stretch the lead back to six with 80 seconds to go.
From there the Cats did enough with the Grand Final now heading to Wollongong for Game 2 on Tuesday.
Perth Wildcats 75 (Redhage 15, Lisch 15, Young 11)
Wollongong Hawks 64 (Coenraad 16, Campbell 13, L Martin 11)
