The win ends a two-game losing skid for the Chargers, who improve to 5-2 on the season. The Penmen fall to 4-6 with the loss.

Carty went 4-for-4 from three-point range in the first half to help the Chargers take a 45-35 lead at the break. Six points by Troy Bowen and four from Sam Carey allowed the Penmen to open the second half with a 10-4 run that cut the Dominican lead to 49-45 with 16:26 remaining. But a 10-2 spree capped by a three-pointer from Brandon Brock (Newburgh, NY) lifted Dominican to a commanding 59-47 advantage with 13:18 left. SNHU was able to pull within seven points with 6:27 on the clock, but the Chargers wrapped up the win by scoring 12 of the next 14 points. For the game, Dominican shot a blazing 58.8 percent from beyond the arc while making 18-of-23 (78.3 percent) from the free throw line.
