ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – St. Bonaventure opened the second half on an 11-0 run and never looked back on the way to a 76-51 victory over visiting Fordham Tuesday night in the Reilly Center.

The Bonnies dominated the second half, limiting the Rams to 30 percent shooting after halftime and only 32 percent for the game.

Dominick Welch was honored in pre-game for becoming Bona's 46^th 1,000-point scorer in program history and responded with one of his best career games. He drained a game-high 21 points and posted his seventh career double-double by hauling in 10 rebounds.

Kyle Lofton delivered 19 points, five rebounds and five steals and Jalen Adaway pitched in with 13 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

Welch went 5-for-7 from long range. 

Bona built an early lead as Fordham started 3-of-13 from the floor and the first half remained a two-possession contest for nearly the entire opening 20 minutes. The Rams would make it tight going to the locker room, though, sending the teams to intermission with Bona's lead at 34-29.

The Bonnies (13-7, 5-4 A-10) exploded out of the break with the run capped by a thunderous put-back dunk by Osun Osunniyi and a Welch trey.

From there, the game was never truly in doubt as the Bonnies' lead grew to 28.

Osunniyi was strong on the glass with a game-best 12 bounds and limited Fordham's Chuba Ohams to just six points on the other end.

The Bona defense was locked in on one of the league's top scorers, Darius Quisenberry as well. Quisenberry, who entered the night ranked second in the league by scoring nearly 18 points per game in A-10 competition, finished with only nine on Tuesday night.
