But from that point on, Holy Cross scored 61 of the next 86 points. Goshen was 4 for 20 from three, while the home team was 12 for 26. The Leafs were outrebounded by 13 and had just three offensive rebounds and two assists. GC shot better at the free-throw line, going 73.3% compared to 61.5% for HCC.
