Utica knew that they’d have to put their undefeated record on the line in order to challenge themselves against high-level competition and, in turn, get better.
Spurred on by a conversation earlier in the day with Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano, Jayden Savoury scored 22 points, including 18 in the first half, to lead St. Mary’s to a 68-55 victory against the De La Salle Pilots, sweeping the season series between the teams.
It’s difficult to replace a player as talented as De La Salle’s Phoenix Glassnor, but his teammates are doing their best to keep the Pilots soaring until he returns.
