Ferrari, Dons stop Pacific

Frankie Ferrari, the WCC’s reigning Player of the Week, had a team-high 15 points and a career-high 13 assists to lead USF to an 84-74 win over Pacific in Stockton on Thursday night.

The Dons (17-13, 9-8) picked up their third straight win as four players besides Ferrari scored in double figures: Chase Foster had 13 points, Jimbo Lull (6-for-7 from the floor) had 12 and Jordan Ratinho and Remu Raitanen each had 11.

The Tigers’ Roberto Gallinat poured in 41 points, the most by any WCC player this season. The guard went 12-for-19 from the floor and 14-for-17 from the line. Pacific fell to 14-16, 9-8.

LMU 65, Santa Clara 64: At the Leavey Center, KJ Feagin scored 29 points but missed what would have been a game-winning three-point try just before the buzzer as the Broncos (11-18, 8-9) fell to the Lions (9-19, 4-13), who got a double-double (19 points, 12 rebounds) from center Mattias Markusson.
