After the teams traded basket, a three-pointer by John Fazzini gave the Monarchs a 44-21 lead with 3:35 to go in the opening stanza. Eventually, an inside buck from Tom Heston, a traditional three-point play by Connor Hughes, and a three-pointer from John Dini gave King's a 31-point lead as the Monarchs took a 54-23 advantage into the locker room. 

King's kept on the pressure in the second half an opened play with a 13-3 run to build a 67-26 lead after buckets from John Fazzini, Heston, and Rutecki with 14:10 to play.

The score swelled to 78-32 after back-to-back three-pointers by Oliver with 10:35 left. A 14-7 run gave the Monarchs its biggest lead of the game at 53 points as a Dan Angelo three-pointer pushed the score to 92-39 with 3:48 remaining.
