Josh Ingram scored a game high 33 points to lead St. Joseph (Met.) to a 73-61 win over Rutgers Prep, No. 10 in the NJ.com Top 20, in Somerset.

Ingram has scored 30 or more points in two of the Falcons’ last six games, and in the other four games he’s scored at least 20 points.

Leading by just three points at halftime, St. Joseph (12-8) went on an 18-13 third quarter run and built up a seven point lead going into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth, the Falcons closed with 19 points to 14 for Rutgers Prep (14-7) to pull away by double digits in the end.

The scoring efforts of Rutgers Prep’s Jadin Collins (29 points, six rebounds, five steals, two assists) were spoiled only by Ingram’s game high 33.
