The dominant performance showcased their offensive firepower and defensive intensity, setting the stage for Monday's title showdown.

Palominos Take Control Early

Right from the opening tip, Palo Alto College dictated the pace of the game.

On the defensive end, Juju Lacivita-Jenkins was a force, recording 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals while also adding 15 points to the stat sheet. His ability to disrupt passing lanes and initiate fast breaks was crucial in shutting down Schreiner's offensive rhythm.

Balanced Attack Leads the Way

The Palominos' depth was on full display as multiple players contributed in significant ways:

• Roger Dominguez provided a spark with 14 points, shooting 71% (5-7) from the floor and draining four three-pointers (4-5).
• Nathaniel Wilbanks chipped in 8 points, knocking down 2 three-pointers and playing solid defense.
• Daylon Gonzales led the defensive effort with 5 steals, showcasing Palo Alto's aggressive press defense.
