Servite Basketball defeated San Jacinto 67-13 Wednesday afternoon and set a new school record for fewest points allowed in a game breaking the previous record of 14 set in 1971 vs. Bishop Montgomery. The Friars also tied the record for fewest points allowed in a quarter with 0 after holding the Tigers scoreless in the second half. Servite is now 2-0 in pool play after Tuesday’s 59-33 victory over Perris and will take on Corona in the semifinals of the Big Daddy Tournament Friday night at 7:30pm at Citrus Hill High School.
