SANTA CLARA – Bellarmine's Anthony Piro has an important role. The senior guard regularly draws the toughest assignment on defense, a taxing responsibility that can affect his shooting.

Friday night, there was no effect.

Piro buried three 3-pointers in the first quarter and two more in the third. He finished with 17 points to help lead the third-seeded Bells to a 59-43 victory over No. 6 seed Sacred Heart Prep in the CCS Open Division quarterfinals at Santa Clara High.
