How It Happened
Penn scored the first four points on Monday night, but Hartford came back with the next seven to take the lead. The Hawks were up 12-11 when they used another seven-point run to go in front by eight at the under-12 media timeout. However, Monroe drove for a layup out of the stoppage and that set the Quakers off on an 8-0 run to draw level.
 
Hartford was in front, 23-21, when Dingle took over. The junior went on a personal 13-point run, knocking down a trio of treys and sandwiching a pair of layups around them. The host Hawks could only answer with three points during that stretch, and a George Smith triple put Penn up 37-28 at the break.
 
Hartford scored the first four points of the second half to draw within five, but at that point Martz hit treys on back-to-back possessions, the second setting Penn on a 6-0 run that extended its lead to 46-34. From there, a pair of Lorca-Lloyd dunks around a Dingle trey expanded the advantage to 16, at 53-37. Overall, it was a 13-3 run.
 
The margin remained in double digits the rest of the way, and Penn officially put this one to rest with a 14-0 run that turned a 60-48 contest into a 74-48 blowout with a little less than three minutes remaining.
