Box Score

 After hitting only 25 percent of their 3-pointers over the past five games, the Bullets (9-6, 6-2 CC) nailed 11 of 24 treys on Wednesday to keep the Bears (7-8, 4-4 CC) at arms’ length and run their winning streak to five games. The win, coupled with Franklin & Marshall’s loss to Dickinson, moved Gettysburg into a 3-way tie for first place in the CC. Johns Hopkins also jumped into first by virtue of a 73-64 win over McDaniel.

 Jakobe put together his second-best point total of the season, hitting 3 of 5 3-pointers. Fromm’s 15 points matched a season high and the junior also pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.

 Ursinus point guard Mike McGarvey continued his standout junior campaign, scoring a game-high 17 points and handing out 10 assists. The CC’s newly minted career assists leader, McGarvey went 5-for-9 from 3-point range, keying a second-half rally that saw the Bears come within a missed 3-pointer of erasing a 14-point halftime deficit.

 Enjoying their most successful stretch of the season despite recent struggles from downtown, the Bullets rediscovered their 3-point touch to hand Ursinus its first conference home loss of the year.

 After Brian McEvily’s 3-pointer gave the Bears their only lead of the game at 12-11, Gettysburg went to work.

 Fromm put Gettysburg back on top with a layup, then drilled a 3-pointer to make it 16-12. Ursinus forward Joe Scholz hit a jumper to cut the deficit in half, but Jakobe knocked down a 3-pointer for the first of nine straight Gettysburg points that pushed the lead to 25-14.

 A pair of layups by Will Furey kept the Bears within 10 at 28-18. Chris Pombar (Glen Head, NY/North Shore) responded with a layup and 3-pointer on consecutive possessions, capping a 22-6 run and giving the Bullets their largest lead of the night at 33-18.

 Bret Jenkins’ 3-pointer snapped a 4-minute, 14-second Ursinus scoring drought. Jakobe closed the half with a jumper, giving Gettysburg a 35-21 lead at the break.

 Threes from Mike Spadafora (Richboro, PA/Archbishop Wood), Fromm and Jakobe in a stretch of 1 minute, 24 seconds maintained the Bullets’ 14-point edge at 46-32 before the Bears made their move.

 Furey canned a short jumper and McGarvey drained back-to-back threes, pulling Ursinus within 46-40 with 12:31 left. Jakobe stretched the lead to 51-42 with a trey at 8:54, but McGarvey answered from behind the arc and McEvily’s layup cut the deficit to 53-49.

 McEvily made it 55-52 with a 3-pointer, then blocked David Glaser (West Chester, PA/Malvern Prep) at the other end to set up a potential game-tying possession.

McGarvey, however, missed a 3-pointer and Gettysburg swung the momentum with back-to-back threes by Matt Whelan (Ridgefield, CT/Ridgefield/Worcester Acad. [MA]) and Spadafora, restoring a nine-point lead.

 A McGarvey 3-pointer pulled the hosts within 62-55 with 1:35 remaining, but the Bullets converted 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

 Glaser, the current CC Co-Player of the Week along with McGarvey, finished with 12 points and eight rebounds. Spadafora also added 12 while Whelan chipped in with nine.

 Furey collected 14 points and seven rebounds in the losing effort. McEvily added 10 points and four assists.

 Gettysburg, enjoying its first five-game winning streak since a six-game stretch in 2001-02, returns to action on Saturday at home against McDaniel. Game time is 2 p.m.
