However, Schurr was usually trading its free-throws and 2-point field goals for 3-pointers from the Golden Knights. St. Francis hit 10 in the game to Schurr's four.

The Spartans came out strong in the third quarter and twice held one-point leads, but St. Francis was always able to get a 3-pointer from one of its guards.

Jenkins scored 17 points for St. Francis, and Adam Vidaurrazaga added 15.

St. Francis will play Bishop Montgomery, a 115-38 winner over Rundle High of Calgary, for the championship of Pool E on Monday.
