Joey Glynn scored 22 points and Kevin Crane added 18 as Cardinal Spellman upended Martha's Vineyard, 88-85, in double overtime in a Division 3 South semifinal game.

"It was a good game," said Cardinal Spellman coach Mike Perry. "There was a lot of athleticism and it was very back and forth. Each team was getting up and down the floor."

Ricky Donovan added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals will play Medway in the Division 3 South Final at UMass-Boston on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Cardinal Spellman had a 16 point lead in the second half, but the Vineyarders got hot from behind the arc to storm back.

Peter Keaney led Martha's Vineyard with 44 points.

The Cardinals were able to pull out the victory in the second overtime thanks to two huge blocks from Glynn and because Martha's Vineyard fan into foul trouble.
