How It Happened

* Both teams had multiple chances to grab the lead in the final minute-plus but were unable to score a point forcing overtime.  In overtime, Dominican opened with an 8-0 run to put the game out of reach.  Freshman Patrick Robinson III (Chesterfield, N.J./Conwell Egan) ended the Chargers run with a three-pointer with 1:43 left in the overtime period that made the score 85-80.  Dominican quickly scored on its next possession before Holy Family scored another three with :40 seconds remaining.  Senior Mekhi Bryant (Fairless Hills, Pa./Pennsbury (Baltimore City C.C.)) made the score 88-83.
