The Penguins led the first seven minutes until HNU evened the scored at 9-9 and took an 11-10 lead at the 11-minute mark on a bucket from Joshua Crum. That would be HNU's only lead though. Ramirez gave the Penguins the lead for good a minute later on a pair of free throws and the lead grew to double digits by halftime, 35-25.

Three minutes into the second half, Dominican's lead grew to 18. Back-to-back layups from Russell Davis made it a 20-point game with 13:44 to go and Dominican led comfortably the rest of the way.
