The senior added five assists, three rebounds, and three steals and more importantly went nine-for-nine at the free-throw line including a perfect four-for-four in the last 1:20 to help seal the win.
Senior Corey Rich netted 17 points in his Griffin debut while junior Kevin Lauer and sophomore Jack Forth each added 10 points respectively.
The Griffins trailed by as much as 15 points midway through the first half before cutting the hole to just 47-42 at the break.
Trailing 76-75 with under two minutes to play, DelBrocco hit two from the line to give GM a one-point edge. After the teams didn\'t score in the next four possessions, he stepped to the stripe and hit two more with six ticks left. A last three-point attempt by the Saints was no good, giving the Griffins the victory.
Mack Spellman was one of four Emmanuel players in double figures, scoring a team-high 23 while also grabbing nine boards.
