° 4 fst TE wn 3 OF 1 : 5 y § . 1 — w The Post SPORTS Sunday, March 14, 2004 9 Queensmen (continued from page 7) gan drew a foul on Cavalier Kennard Hairston. It was the fifth for Hairston, who finished with 19 points. Flanagan, who finished with 13 points, converted both free throws. Af- ter a Sibley layup, Flanagan connected on a pretty, scoop layup to give O'Reil- ly a 58-53 lead with 2:13 to play. “We just lost our fire,” said Flanagan. “Leadership - brought us back. We weren't playing disciplined and we needed a spark and that’s what did it.” Josh Aciukewicz, O’Reilly’s 6-foot-5 sophomore center, took over from there. He hit two free throws and, after a Girard turnover, threw down a dunk for a 62-55 lead with 1:15 left. Forty seconds later, Chris DeRojas came off the bench for a steal and layup to cap a 10-2 run and seal the game. Aciukewicz led O’Reilly with a team- high 21 points and Crossin added 17. O’Reilly trailed until the 6:44 mark of the second quarter, when Crossin converted from beyond the three-point arc. About four minutes later, Kevin Della Rosa hit a long jumper to cap an 11-4 run and build a 28-20 lead. Mike Podcasy’s reverse layup off a Crossin feed stretched the Queensmen lead to 48-27 with 1:33 left in the third quarter, but a Sibley trey 16 seconds later commenced Girard’s big run. “We went up 21 and got a little fat- headed,” said Belenski. “It wasn’t that they forced us ... we're up 21 and tak- ing (three-pointers).” This article appeared in original form in the Times Leader.
