Junior Andrew Keane canned two foul shots with 8 seconds left to lead Wayne Valley to an upset win over DePaul. Keane finished with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 6 charges drawn. James Grevenitz added 14 points. Jay Mustafa had 13 points and 7 assists. Chris Homsi had 11 points and 6 assists. Scott Arkin had 6 boards and 4 assists."This is as big of a regular season win as we've had here at Wayne Valley since I've been here," said Valley coach Joe Leicht, who took over at Wayne Valley in 2003. "I have no idea when Wayne Valley beat DePaul last. It's been a long time."
Valley, in all likelihood, has not beaten DePaul since the early 1990's. But that's a bit misleading. They've only been playing each other annually for the last three years, since the NJSIAA realigned North Jersey conferences. Prior to that, Valley and DePaul would square off only occasionally. For a five years stretch in the late 80s and early 90s, both teams would annually play each other in the All Wayne Christmas Tournament. Valley beat DePaul in a few of those tournaments, but not since.
Josh Marquez led DePaul with 15 points. Kiy Hester was next with 12 points. Mason Aronson and Davon Jacobs added 9 and 8 points respectively.
Both Valley and DePaul are 14-4 this year.

Andrew Keane doesn’t consider himself a good foul shooter. Wayne Valley’s junior center entered the Indians’ game at DePaul on Tuesday night shooting just 62 percent from the line, but that didn’t stop him from making the two most significant foul shots of his varsity career. Keane sank a pair of free throws with eight seconds left to snap a tie, and five seconds later rebounded DePaul’s missed layup attempt to secure Wayne Valley’s 60-58 road win.
