How It Happened…

• First Half
  • The Bullets jumped out to a demanding 14-0 start as the team knocked down four three-pointers with Duffey scoring the first five.
  • The hosts responded by spurting 17 points to pull within two at the 9:12 marker.
  • Gettysburg kept its composer and never gave up the lead as a lay-up by Antolini pushed the Bullets' advantage back to 10 with under 2:25 to play in the stanza.
  • Delaware Valley rallied back in the final two minutes, outscoring Gettysburg 11-2, to come within one at the half.
  • Gettysburg shot 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from three-point range.
• Second Half
  • The Aggies took the lead for the first time in the game 14 seconds into the final stanza after a Jordan Tucker lay-up.
  • From there, one score tie and five additional lead changes occurred in the back-and-forth second half battle.
  • A trey by Leder propelled the Bullets to regain the lead at the 13:51 marker and burst into a 25-10 run to make it an 18-point advantage with under 4:30 remaining.
  • The Aggies looked to make a comeback, but the Bullets forced two turnovers and hit four attempts from the free throw line in the last 51 seconds to seal the non-conference win.

By the Numbers

• Gettysburg connected on 31-of-63 (49.2) from the floor and 14-of-27 (51.9 percent) from three-point range. It is the second time this season the Bullets have knocked down 50 percent from beyond the arc in a game.
• Del Val shot 30-of-59 (50.8 percent) and 11-of-12 (91.7 percent) from the free throw line.
• The Bullets set a program record for consecutive games with 10 or more three-pointers. The 14 treys also tie for second all-time in a game as the team accomplished the single-game record last season at Dickinson College with 15.
• Lord went perfect from three-point land, hitting all four of his attempts. In the last three games, he has drained 13-of-15 from beyond the arc.
• Leder has scored in double-figures in each of his four games as a Bullet after transferring from Salisbury last year.
• Antolini collected his seventh career 20-points or more effort.
• Duffey tallied a career-high 16 points.
• Gettysburg is off to its first 4-0 start since 2008-09. The team opened 4-0 that season.
