to give Gettysburg its first lead at 8-7. Rutland put McDaniel
ahead for the final time with a pair of free throws, but Reggie
Davis (Longwood, FL/Wm. Penn Charter [PA]) drained
another trey to put the Bullets ahead to stay at 11-9.
A pair of jumpers from Fromm sandwiched
around a Davis layup built the lead to 17-9 before Bryant
Dull snapped a five-minute Green Terror scoring drought
with a 3-pointer.
McDaniel stayed within five at 19-14
on two more Rutland free throws, but Gettysburg scored the
next 10 points to take a double-digit lead it would not relinquish
the rest of the night.

Brothers Acad.) and Oloruntoba started the run with
a pair of layups, before Todd Brady (Hancock, NH/ConVal)

left in the half. Glaser pushed the advantage to 35-15 with
a put-back in the final 30 seconds before halftime.
