The Foresters survived a lackluster first half and a feisty St.
Francis squad to win 71-65 for their fifth victory in a row.
The Fighting Saints jumped out to a 6-0 lead on two treys and were
able to maintain a 3-8 point advantage for the entire half until
HC's Kyle Ganton hit a 3-pointer with a 1:05 left to earn the first
tie of the game at 29-29. The two teams traded misses to end
the half. The game remained close six minutes into the second
half with HC up 38-37 when the Foresters scored 10 unanswered points
to give themselves a little breathing room. USF responded with
a 17-5 run to reclaim the lead at 54-53 with just under six minutes
to play. An Alex Kock layup sandwiched between two Doug
Sheckler free throws and a field goal gave the Foresters a 59-54
lead with 3:44 remaining, but the Fighting Saints weren't going
away. USF cut it to two twice including a 67-65 deficit with
:15 left on the clock, but Ganton and Sheckler each hit two from the
stripe to seal the win. Kock lead all scorers in the game with
21 points and added eight rebounds. Sheckler and Ganton each
finished with 14 and Steve Snider added 11. Jon Womack lead
the Fighting Saints with 18 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
With the win, the Foresters move to 11-4 on the season.
