Box Score

 Spadafora hit 8 of 12 shots from the floor and 9 of 13 from the free throw line as the Bullets (13-9, 10-5 CC) scored on 12 of their first 14 possessions to build a 27-9 lead in the opening nine minutes. Glaser collected 16 of his 22 during a wild second half in which the teams combined for 108 points and 57 of their 78 trips to the free throw line.

 Despite posting season highs with 23 turnovers and 37 fouls, Gettysburg improved to 6-2 in CC road games this season and moved into a third-place tie with Haverford and Ursinus in the conference standings.

 Kyle Jakobe (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh/Peddie [NJ]) added 17 points and matched a career high with seven assists for the Bullets, who hadn’t reach the mid-90’s since a 101-91 victory at Dickinson on Feb. 19, 2000. Saturday’s win was Gettysburg’s ninth in its last 10 meetings with Washington (9-13, 6-9 CC) and fifth in its last six trips to Cain Athletic Center.

 Travis Moore netted a team-high 21 points and dished out six assists for the Shoremen, who converted only 3 of 18 3-pointers. Kyle Stem added 20 off the Washington bench.

 Before the high-scoring finish, the Bullets enjoyed a commanding start. Glaser hit two free throws on his team’s opening possession and the visitors were off to the races.

 Jakobe hit a jumper, Glaser converted a layup and Jakobe drilled a 3-pointer on Gettysburg’s next three trips. Chris Pombar (Glen Head, NY/North Shore) added a 3-pointer, Glaser scored in close and Jakobe drained another trey, putting the Bullets ahead 17-4 after seven straight successful possessions.

  Two turnovers and the team’s first miss didn’t stop Gettysburg’s momentum. Spadafora canned a 3-pointer and a jumper on back-to-back possessions, and Matt Whelan (Ridgefield, CT/Ridgefield/Worcester Acad. [MA]) nailed a three to give the Bullets their largest lead of the half at 25-6 with only 7:45 gone.

 Despite their struggles from 3-point range, the Shoremen chipped away at the deficit, pulling within 32-24 on a layup from Jonathan Webb and staying within a manageable 37-27 at halftime.

 To Washington’s chagrin, however, the first five minutes of the second half looked like a rerun.

 Keyed by seven quick points from Whelan, Gettysburg built a pair of 22-point leads, the latter a 55-33 edge with exactly 15:00 remaining following a Pombar layup.

 The Shoremen used a 14-4 run over the next 3 minutes, 44 seconds to pull within 12, but the Bullets maintained a comfortable double-digit lead until the game’s final minutes.

 Fouling on nearly every defensive possession in the final four minutes, Washington got within 88-82 after a Moore 3-pointer with 55 seconds left.

 Two free throws by Stem kept it a two-possession game at 90-84, but Gettysburg went 6-for-8 from the line in the final 50 seconds to seal the win. The Bullets attempted 22 free throws and only three field goals – all on the same possession – in the game’s final 3:45.

 Whelan was the fourth Gettysburg player in double figures, finishing with 10. With the game’s very first point, Glaser became the fourth Bullet to score 1,500 career points, winding up the day with 1,521.

 Spadafora’s previous career scoring high was 26 points, set in Gettysburg’s 75-69 win at Navy in December. The Bullets’ previous season highs for turnovers (22) and fouls (27) were also set in that game.

 Webb and Joe Breslin chipped in with 12 points apiece for the Shoremen.

 Gettysburg returns to action on Wednesday at Johns Hopkins. Game time is 8 p.m. The Blue Jays moved into a first-place tie with Franklin & Marshall on Saturday.
