Jordan Giusti helps the Gaels over LMU

Host St. Mary's handled Loyola Marymount 74-61 Saturday afternoon. From Gael athletics:

"...Saint Mary's looked set to take a 30-all tie into halftime, but that turned into a crowd-raising three-point lead when Jordan Giusti beat the buzzer with a heave from just inside half court that hit glass and caromed in to give the Gaels a 33-30 advantage.

Giusti's good play wasn't limited to one shot. The redshirt freshman from San Ramon, Calif. was again a defensive standout, marking Loyola Marymount point guard Anthony Ireland whenever he was in the game. His defense held the league's leading scorer to a five of 18 performance from the floor.

Giusti also added eight points offensively, matching his career-high..."

3-4 shooting and on the court for 19 minutes -- quite a line for the former San Ramon Valley High redshirt freshman.
