PHILADELPHIA -- AJ Brodeur scored 13 points, including a game-ending dunk, and grabbed 11 rebounds while Darnell Foreman made four free throws in the last 30 seconds and Penn held off Saint Joseph's 67-56 Saturday night in a Big Five contest at The Palestra.
Caleb Wood scored 12 points, Antonio Woods 11 and Ryan Betley 10 as the Quakers (12-6) have won four of their last five and rebounded from a loss to Temple in another Big Five game at The Palestra. The Big Five is the unofficial Philadelphia championship played by the five Division I teams around the city.
