St. Andrew's Defeats WA

The two scored the first 11 points of the half as WA cut the deficit to four points. St. Andrew's would pull away during the middle of the half, but WA got it back to single digits inside of two minutes. St. Andrew's was able to hang on for the victory.
Martindale lead the Hilltoppers with 18 points. Durkee & junior guard Jordan McAllister (Newburgh, NY) each scored 17 points, while Doherty chipped in 15.
