Gwynedd-Mercy 69, Arcadia 61
Griffins snap skid, inch closer to playoffs

Box Score

GLENSIDE, PA - Freshman Lemeire Talley (Blackwood, N.J./Highland) scored 14 of his game-high 25 points in the second half helping Gwynedd-Mercy snap a three-game losing streak in the 69-61 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference win at Arcadia Saturday afternoon.

Talley hit 10-of-13 shooting including five rebounds and three assists as the win also helps Gwynedd further cement a playoff spot in next weekend's PAC Tournament.

Senior Chris DelBrocco (Philadelphia/St. John Neumann) added 13 points and sophomore Haven Wroten (Philadelphia/Prep Charter) added 12 points as the Griffins built a double-digit second half lead and held off a furious comeback attempt from the Knights.

Tom Keenan (Philadelphia/Father Judge) hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left in the first period to give Gwynedd (12-11, 10-6 PAC) a 34-24 lead at the break. The junior finished with just six points but pulled down a team-high nine boards.

Later in the second, Talley's putback off a miss gave GM its biggest lead of the game, 44-29, with 14:45 left to play. Keenan's second trey with 9:39 left was the only field goal over the next seven minutes as a 14-point lead shrunk to just three with 1:39 left.

But DelBrocco iced the game nailing a three-pointer from the left side on the next possession for a six-point edge. The Griffins then hit five of six trips at the line to seal the win.

Gwynedd shot 50% (24-of-48) from the floor and 16-of-20 from the free-throw line compared to Arcadia, who was 34% (18-of-53) and just 24-of-42 from the charity stripe.

The Griffins play at Wesley on Monday in another PAC tilt at 7 p.m.
