ST. MARYS — What had been a close game in the first half was blown open in the third quarter as St. Marys defeated Bradford 66-46 in Tuesday’s D9 League contest.
The Dutch outscored the Owls 22-11 in the third quarter to move to .500 on the season (8-8 overall, 3-5 D9 League).
Bradford, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing setback after Saturday’s win over Brookville.
“Defensively we really struggled,” BHS coach Brian Hobbs said. “We just didn’t have that same energy we had on Saturday. We weren’t good at helping with penetration and we let (Nathan) Schneider get deep in the paint too many times.”
Schneider scored a game-high 27 points to lead the Dutch, while Jared Groll (12 points) and Anthony Cortina (10) also finished in double figures.
Hobbs also praised the job St. Marys did on the defensive end.
“That’s probably the best defense I’ve seen St. Marys play all year,” he said. “They dug in and did a nice job defensively.”
Deondre Terwilliger led Bradford with 22 points.
“Deondre did well on the offensive end,” Hobbs said. “He got some shots off and he got to the rack.”
Tyler Gigliotti added 10 points.
St. Marys was especially dominant on the boards, outrebounding Bradford 38-24 and scoring 15 points off of offensive rebounds.
The Owls (8-8 overall, 4-2 D9 League) will be back in action on Friday when they host Brockway.
