Alvernia 64, Gwynedd-Mercy 61
Griffins, Crusaders split regular season series

Box Score

READING, PA -- Alvernia scored the last seven points of the game including a go-ahead three-pointer with 33 seconds left as Gwynedd-Mercy fell to the Crusaders, 64-61, Monday evening in PAC action.

The Griffins (11-10, 9-5 PAC) led 61-57 as Jack Forth (Upper Merion, Pa./Upper Merion) nailed a trey with 1:42 on the clock, but Gwynedd could not get another field goal, including two late looks that did not fall.

Senior Chris DelBrocco (Philadelphia/St. John Neumann) led GM with 14 points. Rashid Santiago (Allentown, Pa./George School) added 12 while Forth and freshman Matt Johnson (Philadelphia/Strawberry Mansion) each chipped in eight.

The Crusader's Matt King had 10 points, but his three-ball with 33 ticks left gave Alvernia (17-4, 12-2 PAC) a 62-61 lead. Two Terrence Shawell free-throws after a Johnson missed jumper accounted for the final score. Johnson had one last attempt at the buzzer but it did not go.

The game was a rematch of last Monday's three-point win by the home team as the Griffins won 57-54.

Gwynedd will host Neumann this Thursday in another PAC tilt at 8 p.m.
