THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, March 26, 2021 Page 13 Last-second thriller: Dalencour three-pointer lifts Malden past Revere at buzzer, 50-48 By Steve Freker D own a point with less than 15 seconds to play, Malden needed something big to happen. Junior Ryan Dalencour had just the right answer. With the clock ticked down to just 8 seconds, Dalencour lined up a “three” from the left corner and drilled it – nothing but net – to give Malden a twopoint lead and the eventual 5048 win. Dalencour’s heroics gave head coach Don Nally’s Golden Tornados their first win of the season after starting the season with three consecutive stumbles. “It was great to see the shot go down. We have such a young team, and when they get to see firsthand that if you play right to the end, you still have a chance to win, it’s a big plus,” Coach Nally said. Dalencour scored 11 points for Malden. Sophomore Justin Bell led all scorers with 14 points for the Tornados. Senior captain Ali Alayan scored 12 points for Malden. Sophomore Jonald Joseph had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots for the Tornados. Carbone topped the gym with 15 points for Revere. Urdanets added 7 points, Clauto scored 8 points and senior co-captain Dillan Day added 9 points.
