The Crusaders missed several short-range shots in the first half and went more than six minutes without scoring.
"St. Thomas Aquinas played very hard," Brother Martin Coach Scott Thompson said. "We had to wind up picking up our intensity. They had really set the tone for the game. We were fortunate to win that game."
Stephen Wronkoski led St. Thomas Aquinas with 20 points.
ST. AUGUSTINE 56, HOLY CROSS 42: The Purple Knights raced to a 10-0 lead and never looked back. Eldridge Moore led St. Augustine with 11 points, and Brandon Lain had 10 points. The Purple Knights were ahead by as many as 35 points late in the third quarter. With St. Augustine's starters on the bench, the Tigers outscored the Purple Knights 19-10 in the fourth quarter.
"I think Holy Cross was a little overmatched," St. Augustine Coach Clifford Barthe said. "(Coach Juan Lumas) has a young group over there. So we tried to sub out as much as we could. As a result, we got sloppy."
Holy Cross' Joel Pinchon finished with 22 points.
