Episcopal’s Dade tops 1,000-point mark in loss to Penn Charter
Matt Dade notched a personal milestone Tuesday, but the final result for the Episcopal Academy senior was bittersweet.
Dade tallied a career-high 35 points to surpass the 1,000-point threshold in his career, but he didn’t get much help offensively as EA fell to Penn Charter, 60-56.
Dade hit 14 baskets, including two 3-pointers. But he was the only Churchman in double-figures in a game where EA led by 13 points after one quarter but couldn’t hang on. Colin Chambers chipped in nine points, but Alex Capitano tallied a season-low four for the Churchmen (8-8, 1-1 Inter-Ac).
