SAN RAFAEL, Calif.- Dominican men's basketball (8-6, 3-5) hosted the Sharks of Hawaii Pacific Saturday afternoon to conclude their two-week home stand. Junior Michael Wilson had himself a career day dropping a season high 26 points on a game high seven three-pointers, but it wasn't enough as the Sharks outlasted the Pengs 83 to 77.

HPU was led by their leading scorer Quentin Meza early as he collected most of their points in the first half. Wilson got his day started when he found some open space in the Sharks defense midway through the first and knocked down his first long ball assisted on the play by teammate Nick Medeiros. Speaking of Medeiros, the Vallejo native was everywhere on the court for Dominican as he led the team in both assists and rebounds with six and nine.

After a little run from the Penguins late in the first half, the Sharks would head into halftime on a strong note thanks to a 7-0 run to close the half. Coming out of the half it looked like HPU was going to run away with this one as their lead got as big as 19, but Dominican wouldn't give in.

The duo of Wilson and Medeiros heated up in the second half as Wilson collected most of his long balls in the second while Medeiros showed off his offensive arsenal finishing second on the team in scoring with 18 points. Senior Jorge Ochoa rounded out the top scorers for the Pengs as he posted 15 points while giving the Sharks fits with his by scoring 11 points in the paint.

The Penguins will now hit the road as they travel to Hawaii next week and visit Hawaii Hilo Jan. 15^th at 9 p.m. PST
