With Parks Ordiway out of the lineup due to injury, Hoffman went from his usual role of sixth man to starter, and made a number of hustle plays for the Dragons.
“We knew we needed to come out and run a little more,” Hoffman said of the Dragons’ offensive philosophy following a heartbreaking loss at the buzzer in their last game against Oil City. “We need to play to our speed and make other teams tired. Corry is a decent team, and I think we proved ourselves tonight. We played pretty well coming off the Oil City game.”

The Dragons had 31 made shots from the floor, 28 of which were 2s, including a steal and dunk from Becker in the third quarter.
