BOX SCORE

ANAHEIM -- Nate Kratch scored 12 points to go with 10 rebounds and Kai Healy finished with 14 points to lead Santa Clara to its first victory of the season with a 62-45 win over Boston College that captured seventh place at the DIRECTV Wooden Legacy on Sunday.

Kratch shot 6 for 7 from the field and has recorded double-digit rebound totals in three of the last four games. Healy was 4 of 8 from the field and had seven rebounds.

Neither team was able to create separation until Santa Clara (1-7) made a late first half charge. With the score tied at 21 and 5:58 to play in the half, the Broncos went on a 12-0 run to take a 33-21 lead into the break. The Broncos protected their double-digit advantage throughout the second half.

Eli Carter led Boston College (3-3) with 16 points, while A.J. Turner and Dennis Clifford added 10 apiece.

The Broncos got a big lift from 6-11 freshman forward Henrik Jadersten down the stretch in the first half. The Stockholm, Sweden native drilled back-to-back 3-pointers and added a pair of free throws propelling Santa Clara to a double-digit lead.

Jared Brownridge, who scored 63 points in the first two games of the tournament for the Broncos, was ice cold from the field. The junior guard made just 4 of 15 shots in the game and finished with 9 points.

Boston College misfired on their final 11 possessions of the first half, shot just 21 percent and missed 13 of 16 shots beyond the arc. The Eagles did not score in the final 5:58 of the half and were outrebounded 23-19 in the opening 20 minutes.

Healy led the Broncos with 10 points in the first half and Jadersten added 8.

In the second half, the Broncos extended their lead to as many as 25 points and were never threatened.
