Despite the margin, Pine Bush stayed aggressive on both ends and worked to generate quality looks against a physical Kingston defense. Guzman led Pine Bush offensively with 16 points, attacking the basket and knocking down timely shots, while Manzueta added 10 points and battled throughout the night.
