Mike Spadafora and Kyle Jakobe scored 21 of their combined 26 points in the second half, helping the Bullets (10-6, 7-2 CC) go 17-for-21 from the floor after the break en route to their sixth straight win. Spadafora and Jakobe each finished with a team-high 13 points.
David Glaser added 12 points while Ryan Page also hit double digits for 11 as Gettysburg ran its winning streak to 11 straight games against the Green Terror (3-13, 1-8 CC). Glaser and Page each collected a team-best six rebounds.
McDaniel’s Sam Anstead scored all of his team-high 11 points in the first half, keeping the Green Terror deadlocked with Gettysburg at 27 through the first half.
After hitting 9 of 27 shots in the opening half, the Bullets erupted for 53 points over the final 20 minutes to leave no doubt.
Glaser put the home team ahead to stay with a pair of free throws in the first 35 seconds of the second half and Spadafora followed with a 3-pointer to make it 32-27. Jemar Daniel answered with a leaning layup and Mike DiPiero hit 1 of 2 free throws to pull McDaniel within 32-30.
With foul trouble consigning starting power forward Erik Fromm and backup Chris Pombar to the bench, Gettysburg got a lift from sophomore reserve Julius Redd.
Entering after Pombar’s third foul at 17:36, Redd drew a foul on Daniel, hit the back end of two free throws, then hauled in a defensive rebound to set up a 3-point play chance by Spadafora. The sophomore missed the ensuing free throw, but collected his own rebound and converted a wide-open layup to make it 37-30.
Following a Green Terror timeout and turnover, Redd kept the Bullets’ next possession alive with an offensive rebound, then zipped a pass to Spadafora for another layup and Gettysburg’s largest lead up to that point.
Jakobe followed with two free throws and a 3-pointer. Glaser capped the 14-0 burst with two free throws, extending the lead to 46-30 with 12:45 left.
Kyle O’Connor ended a 5-minute, 38-second McDaniel scoring drought with a 3-pointer, but two treys from Page sparked a 13-0 Bullet run that made it 59-33. Mike Beck scored a career-high eight points in four minutes to wrap up the win.
Gettysburg built an 18-10 lead through the game’s opening 12 minutes before Anstead keyed a 10-0 Green Terror run that put the visitors ahead for the only time at 20-18. Bullet guard Matt Whelan responded with six of his nine points in a 9-2 run that gave his squad a 27-22 advantage.
McDaniel tallied the next five points, tying the game for the third and final time on a D.J. Hynes free throw with 22.9 seconds left in the half. Gettysburg went 6-for-9 from 3-point range in the second half, finishing with eight threes.
