Upper Darby may have come away with a 60-54 victory, but not before fighting off a fired-up Marple Newtown squad that rallied from a 10-point deficit to knot things up on the scoreboard in the final minute.
Torey Green scored 18, Quadir Rice sunk 16 and Beni Toure had 13 for the Royals. Jake Magee netted a game-high 27 points for the Tigers (6-10), but Upper Darby made key free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
