Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg outscored Dickinson 35-4 to start the game and the Bullets cruised to an 83-42 Centennial Conference men's basketball victory in the team's final home game of the season Wednesday evening in Bream Gymnasium.

The Bullets (13-10, 11-6 CC), who made their first six 3-point attempts and were 9-for-12 from beyond the arc in the opening half, finished 13-for-23 (56.5 percent) from long distance for the night, setting a season-high for 3-pointers made. Gettysburg shot 59.3 percent from the floor while limiting Dickinson to 33.3 percent shooting.

Gettysburg went into the game having already clinched a Centennial Conference playoff berth, and the Bullets can now clinch a first-round bye with a win at McDaniel College on Saturday.

Junior center Andrew Powers (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) paced the Bullets with a game-high 23 points on 11-of-14 shooting. Junior forward Kevin Kennedy (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) was red-hot from downtown, burying 7-of-9 3-pointers to finish with 21 points. His seven 3's were a career-high, the most by a Bullet this season, and two shy of the school record.

Sophomore guard Brendan Trelease (Union, N.J./Roselle Catholic) added 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting off the bench while freshman guard Alex Zurn (Brookeville, Md./St. Andrew's Episcopal) added 12 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Senior guard Brendan Hager (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) distributed seven assists.

Sophomore guard Chris Smith and junior guard Pat Kearns led Dickinson (4-18, 4-13 CC) with eight points apiece.

Gettysburg's 41-point win marked the team's largest margin of victory since a 92-49 win over City College of New York on Jan. 7, 1994.

The Bullets never trailed after scoring the game's first 12 points. Chris Harrington put the Red Devils on the scoreboard at the 16:16 mark, but Gettysburg came right back with a 13 more unanswered points to push its advantage to 25-2 with 12:32 to go. Kennedy fueled the team's second run with three straight 3-pointers.

Kennedy's hot hand was apparently contagious, as Trelease also nailed three consecutive trifectas to make it 34-4 with 9:16 left. Gettysburg led by as much as 34 in the opening period before Dickinson used an 11-1 run to cut into the lead. But Kennedy finished off his incredible first half with another 3 just before the buzzer, giving his team a 44-17 halftime advantage.

Gettysburg shot 62.5 percent in the first half while holding Dickinson to 30.8 percent shooting. Kennedy led all players with 15 points in the first half, shooting 5-for-6 from 3-point range. Powers added 10 points in the opening period while Trelease was 3-for-3 from distance for nine first-half points.

The Bullets were not threatened in the second half, as the Red Devils never got closer than 27 points. After a lay-up from sophomore forward Tim Lang (Boothwyn, Pa./Garnet Valley) at the 17:34 mark, the hosts would lead by at least 30 the rest of the way.

All but one of the 17 Bullets who dressed entered the game, and nine players scored.

Gettysburg concludes the regular season on Saturday, when it visits McDaniel at 3 p.m.
