Chris Fazzini finished with a team-high 20 points and recorded half of his points from the stripe.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Rutecki, who has been the offensive leader all year for King&#8217;s finished with 16 points on 6-11 shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern was led by Austin Carroll who finished with 15 points. Shaquan Turk may of shot just 2-12 from the field but his 8-8 from the line led him to finish with 14 points.<\/p>\n<p>The Monarchs are just a few wins away from a playoff berth but that wont lead coach Andrejko to think any further then Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll talk Saturday,&#8221; Andrejko said during post-game. &#8220;That is about as far as we can go. I talk playoffs every single day, but we need to worry about Saturday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As coach Andrejko said, King&#8217;s will take the hardwood once again on Saturday at home against Misericordia at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The King&#8217;s Monarchs won a very big conference against Eastern University, 80-74, at Scandlon Gymnasium .
