GYWNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Gwynedd-Mercy shot a season-low
32.7% and was scoreless in an eight minute span to start the second
half as Arcadia prevailed in a 71-48 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference
game Saturday afternoon.
The Knights' Dave Boettcher scored 17 of his game-high
27 points in the first stanza as Arcadia also outrebounded the Griffins,
41-23. Boettcher also pulled down 11 caroms.
Senior Chris DelBrocco (Philadelphia, Pa./St.
John Neumann) led Gwynedd with 14 points and Rashid Santiago
(Allentown, Pa./George School) chipped in seven points, six boards,
four steals, and three assists.
Arcadia led 35-24 at the break but outscored GM
10-0 over an eight minute span to start the second half to build
their lead to 21. DelBrocco's driving layup with 12:23 gave the
Griffins its first points of the stanza.
Gwynedd (10-8, 8-3 PAC) got it within nine at 54-45
with 4:48 left, as DelBrocco hit two free throws after an AU technical,
but the Knights (7-11, 5-6 PAC) scored the next five points to restore
a double-digit lead for the rest of the game.
