Trailing by 21, 23-13, at the half, Holley came battling back. The Hawks cut the deficit to 10, 40-30, at the three-quarter mark and then to six, 48-42, late in the final period.

The host Dragons though turned back the challenge by closing with a 9-0 run to lock up the win.

Tyson Totten scored 30 to lead the way for Pembroke.

Dustin Kuyal scored 19, Vinny Golisano 13 and Ben Cox 8 to pace Holley.
