HC gets A. May-zing OT win
(Originally posted 8:46 p.m., links added at 8:59 a.m.)
Adam May scored 9 of his 12 points in overtime to lift Holy Cross to a come-from-ahead, come-from-behind 67-63 win Saturday at San Francisco.

It was 33-8, Holy Cross, at the intermission after a first half where the Crusaders shot and held San Francisco to 4 for 28 from the field (14.3 percent). The second half, though, was a turnaround. The 'Saders cooled to 6 for 16 (37.5 percent) while the Dons hit 16 of 28 (57.1 percent)m including 5 of 7 from three-point range.

Two of those threes came off the hand of Manny Quezada in the last two minutes, erasing a 6-point HC lead and sending the game to OT.

San Francisco scored the first six points in the OT, then May got it going. May scored 5 in an 8-0 HC run. Then, when the Dons tied it, he hit a jumper to give HC the lead for good. Just to make sure his efforts were not for naught, May scored the final points of the game by going coast-to-coast after a late steal.

The Crusaders played without starting power forward Alex Vander Baan. HC radio attributed his absence to back spasms. Point guard Pat Doherty also left early with what was reported on radio to be an ankle injury.

Colin Cunningham was also injured late in the game. Doherty came in long enough to shoot free throws (missing both) for Cunningham, who was injured while being fouled. Cunningham's injury did not seem serious. He returned later.

Tim Clifford led HC with 17 points. Doherty had 16 when he went down.

Holy Cross is at Maryland Tuesday in its final non-conference tune-up before opening league play Saturday at Lafayette
