Gerak got in the scorebook with a pair of converted free throws and two layups for six of his eight points in the half. Senior co-captain Josh Niebloom (Livingston, N.J./Golda Och Academy) sank a pair of three-pointers to add a half-dozen points in the period.

In the closing seconds of the first half, rookie Andre Garibaldi (New Hope, Pa./New Hope-Solebury) sank a layup to give the Gryphons a 36-25 halftime advantage.

Rookie Malin Segal (Marblehead, Mass./Concord Academy) tallied the first points of the second half with one of his two three-point baskets on the day. Gerak's hot day continued as he scored six of the next dozen points in the game; he had seven in the half.

With a layup and two free-throws, Segal scored four of his 10 second-half points over the span of a minute and a half. He later added a three-pointer to give the Green and White their largest lead at 61-41.

In the half, rookie Logan Dubek (Tempe, Ariz./Corona del Sol) scored five points on two field goals, including one from beyond the arc, while sophomore co-captain Graham Gilleran (San Francisco, Calif./Archbishop Riordan) scored four points.

Gerak accompanied his team-high 15 points with three steals and a pair of rebounds. Segal totaled 14 points with five assists and two boards.
