His fellow American import guard Jayden Iturmendi (198-1997, college: Bridgeport) contributed with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals for the winners. Starlites' coach Paul Ferrante felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
