Mike Kelly went 10-for-15 and scored a career-high 24 points while also grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out four assists.

Miles Dargan had four 3-pointers in an 18-point effort.

Malcolm Boone grabbed 11 rebounds to help Keystone to a 44-21 advantage on the boards.

Gerald Bryant had 18 points for Neumann (13-14).
