Box Score
CARLISLE, Pa. - David Glaser (West
Chester, PA/Malvern Prep) scored a game-high 26 points
as Gettysburg built a double-digit halftime lead and held
on down the stretch to defeat Dickinson 62-54 in Centennial
Conference (CC) men's basketball action on Wednesday.
Glaser scored 21 of his 26 points on 8-of-10
shooting in the decisive first half and added a team-best
10 rebounds for his third collegiate double-double. With the
victory, the Bullets (9-9, 5-1 CC) remained tied for first
place in the CC West Division with Franklin & Marshall, an
84-57 winner over Johns Hopkins on Wednesday.
Freshman Erik Fromm (Swedesboro, NJ/Kingsway
Reg.) added eight points and a career-high nine rebounds
in the winning effort while Dami Oloruntoba (Glenn Dale,
MD/Eleanor Roosevelt) hauled in nine rebounds and
blocked a career-high four shots.
The loss overshadowed an outstanding effort
from Dickinson's Jon Schwadron and a milestone
night for teammate Billy Hagan. Schwadron led
the Red Devils (5-12, 0-6 CC) with 19 points and 13 rebounds
while Hagan scored his 1,000th career point on a breakaway
layup in the second half and finished with 14 points.
Despite some nervous moments down the stretch,
Gettysburg never trailed after an Oloruntoba free throw made
it 3-2 just 1 minute, 43 seconds into the game.
Dickinson stayed within a point at 8-7 on
a 3-pointer from Hagan at 12:39 before Glaser took over. Over
the next 8 minutes, 9 seconds, the Bullets' scoring leader
racked up 18 of his squad's next 20 points, draining a 3-pointer
to cap the stretch and push the Gettysburg lead to 28-20 with
4:06 left in the half.
The Red Devils scored five quick points to
cut the deficit to three before Todd Brady (Hancock,
NH/ConVal) knocked down a trey to make it 31-25 at
halftime.
A layup from Ryan Page (Silver Spring,
MD/St. John's College [DC]) and two Glaser free throws
made it 35-25 in the first minute of the second half and the
Bullets led by as many as 12 on Brady's second 3-pointer with
12:52 left.
From there, Dickinson chipped away at the
Gettysburg advantage, using a 9-2 run consisting of a Hagan
3-pointer and six free throws to pull within 53-49 with 6:35
remaining.
The Bullets, however, righted the ship on
driving layups by Justin Harrison (Washington, DC/St.
John's College) and Brady, making it 57-49 with 4:34
left.
The Red Devils cut the lead to 57-54 on a
three from Brando Karpo with 1:04 to play, but
Glaser calmly sank two free throws to make it 59-54. Following
a Dickinson turnover, Kyle Jakobe (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh/Peddie
School [NJ]) iced the win with two charity tosses.
Glaser's 26-point performance was his seventh
20-plus-point showing of the season. Brady finished with eight
points and six rebounds. The Bullets also snapped a seven-game
road losing streak while winning in an opponents' gym for
the first time this season.
Gettysburg returns to action on Saturday
at home against Swarthmore. Game time is 2 p.m.
