Penn College fought back to within six points at 46-40, with 13:20 to play after Bryant House made a layup and converted a subsequent free throw to complete a three-point play, but King's responded with a 29-15 run over the next 11:00 to build the lead to 75-55 with just 2:07 on the clock.
Joe Caffrey and Donovan Womack led the Monarchs in scoring with 12 points each.  Freshman Tim O'Shea added 11 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes.  The fourth King's player to reach double figures was senior Kyle Stackhouse with 10 points as well as four helpers.
