No. 21 St. Mary's Men's Basketball Cruises Past Frostburg State

Box Score

St. Mary's City, Md. – The No. 21 St. Mary's College of Maryland men's basketball team rolled to their fourth straight win Wednesday night with a dominating 97-54 Capital Athletic Conference win over Frostburg State University.

Senior captain Brendan McFall (Poolesville, Md./Poolesville) led all scorers with 22 points as McFall matched his career-best with six three-pointers on the night. Fellow classmate Donn Hill (Aberdeen, Md./Bel Air) contributed 16 points while sophomore forward Troy Spurrier (Mt. Airy, Md./Glenelg) added a dozen points.

The Seahawk reserves highlighted tonight's win as they combined for 40 of St. Mary's 97 points with several first-years notching their first collegiate points. First-year guard Carney Bernard (Silver Spring, Md./Tuscarora) paced the players off the bench with eight points while junior center J.D. Garris (Germantown, Md./Covenant Life School) chipped in a career-best seven.

Senior captain Kyle Wise (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall) and first-year guards Gavan Scanlan (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) and Ryan Grant (Adamstown, Md./St. Maria Goretti) kept the offense running smoothly as the trio combined for 16 of the team's 27 assists. Wise matched his career-best with seven assists while Scanlan dished a season-high five helpers and Grant had a season-best four.

St. Mary's (9-3, 4-1 CAC) posted a 41-23 halftime advantage as McFall tallied 13 first-half points and Hill came up with 12. Junior Torrell Goodman (Baltimore, Md./Baltimore City) and sophomore guard Royce Hunsberger (La Plata, Md./La Plata) paced the Bobcats with six points each.

The Seahawks shot 63.3% (19-of-30) from the floor, including 7-of-13 (53.8%) from behind the three-point line, in the second half to break the game wide-open.

Frostburg State (0-11, 0-5 CAC), who leaves tonight still searching for its win of the season, saw Goodman be its bright spot as he notched team-bests of 16 points and five rebounds in the loss.

St. Mary's will be back in action on Saturday, January 11th as St. Mary's travels to Buena Vista, Virginia to take on league newcomer, Southern Virginia University, in a match-up at 3:00 p.m.
