STANFORD, Calif. -- Randy Bennett envisioned how good his team might be a month into the season, and then a month after that comes conference play, once Saint Marys got everybody healthy and roles defined.The 16th-year coach already realizes this group could emerge as one of his best yet -- and he has had some talented teams tucked away in the East Bay hills.Its up there.

They responded by running away from Stanford in the second half, with Calvin Hermanson scoring a career-high 25 points and knocking down a career-best seven 3-pointers in No. 12 Saint Marys 66-51 win Wednesday night to stay unbeaten.I wasnt too happy with how we defended in the first half.

Sheffield hit a jumper at 15:14 for Stanfords first points.The Gaels needed a strong start after the break to keep its impressive early record unblemished. The teams finished even on rebounds with 29 apiece, but Stanford went 3 for 12 from beyond the arc and shot 38.2 percent for the game to 55.1 percent by Saint Marys.Its every coachs dream to have that many shooters and that many great passers on the floor at the same time. Its hard to guard it all, Haase said, noting, They came out more enthused than we did.Saint Marys won its first five games by an average of 18 points.
