WHITEMARSH Malvern Prep knows it can score, but even the Friars were a little taken aback by their third quarter Tuesday.
A four-point game with 5:45 left in the quarter quickly turned into a blowout as the Friars caught fire and hit from anywhere and everywhere on Germantown Academy’s floor. Malvern Prep didn’t slow down either, taking some of the luster off a day of celebration for GA to win the season series.
The Friars dominant second half led to a 82-64 win over the Patriots Tuesday night.
“We just turned up our defensive intensity, the zone was really working for us and our shooters got a lot of open looks,” Friars forward Fran Oschell said. “For us, defense leads to offense and when we have that going on, I feel like our shooters tend to heat up.”
