St. Joe's Beats Villanova, 74-58

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Langston Galloway scored 20 points to lead Saint Joseph's to a 74-58 victory over Villanova on Saturday.

Carl Jones added 15 points, Ronald Roberts 12 and C.J. Aiken 11 for the Hawks (8-3), who won their third straight game and fifth in their last six.
Maalik Wayns had 19 points to pace the Wildcats (6-5), who have lost five of seven.

The matchup was played for the first time in the 69-year history of the rivalry at the Hawks' cozy campus site, Hagan Arena. And it might never have sounded louder.

Traditionally, Saint Joseph's has hosted Villanova at the Palestra, the storied gym on the University of Pennsylvania campus that is home to Philadelphia Big 5 games. But this year, St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli wanted to create a buzz and regain the homecourt advantage that has been missing for the Hawks in recent seasons.
