Boston University Uses Overtime Free Throws To Edge Men’s Basketball


BOSTON -- Boston University made all seven of its free throw attempts in overtime after rallying from a second half deficit to force the extra period, and the shots from the charity stripe proved the difference Monday night in an 87-84 win over visiting Loyola University Maryland at Case Gymnasium.


Eric Fanning scored seven of his career-high 37 points in overtime, five coming from the free-throw line. His pair with 20.6 ticks left pushed the Terriers’ lead to three, 87-84, after a Tyler Hubbard three seven-tenths of a second earlier made it a one-point game.


Overall, Boston University (10-9 overall, 3-3 Patriot League) converted 23-of-33 free throws with Fanning making 17-of-22. Loyola (4-13, 3-3), which was shooting 71.8 percent from the line this season entering the game, made just 17-of-30.


The Greyhounds took their second 14-point lead of the game, 68-54 with 8:45 remaining on a Chancellor Barnard layup, but Boston University reeled off nine-straight points that drew the Terriers within five, 68-63, with 5:26 left in regulation.


Jarred Jones, who led Loyola with his sixth double-double of the season, grabbed an offensive rebound on Loyola’s next possession, scored, was fouled and hit the ensuing free throw to push the advantage to eight.


Jones had 20 points and his 11 rebounds were a game-high as Loyola outrebounded the Terriers, 40-26.


Three Boston Unviersity free throw on their next two possessions -- 1-of-2 from Nick Havener and two by Fanning -- pulled the Terriers back within five, but Jones again had a traditional 3-point play with 3:33 remaining to stake the Greyhounds’ lead back to eight, 74-66.


After a Havener basket nine second later and two Cheddi Mosley 3-pointers -- the second coming with 2:02 on the second-half clock -- the Terriers tied the game at 74-74.


Andre Walker found Jones in the paint for a basket with the shot-clock expiring at 1:02, and Loyola clung to a two-point advantage, 76-74. Kyle Foreman misfired for the Terriers, and Jones came down with the defensive rebound, but he then missed a shot with the shot clock at zero with 28 seconds left.


Fanning drove the right side for Boston University and picked up a foul, but he made just 1-of-2 at the line, and Loyola had a 76-75 advantage with 9.4 ticks left in regulation. Hubbard was fouled after catching the inbound pass, but he missed both free throws for the Greyhounds.


Havener pulled down the defensive board for Boston University, and he sent an outlet pass to Mosley. Mosley raced down the left side and drew a foul on Loyola with 2.2 seconds left.


He missed the front end of two, but he hit the second to force overtime after a desperation heave by the Greyhounds at the buzzer bounced off.


Loyola scored the first three points of overtime -- Cam Gregory made 1-of-2 at the line and Jones coverted in the paint -- but a 3-point play by Fanning after a Havener bucket gave the Terriers the lead for good with 2:05 remaining in extra time.


Five Greyhounds scored in double figured, led by Jones’ 20. Chancellor Barnard came off the bench to match his career-high with 17 points, making all eight of his field goals.


Barnard’s 8-of-8 from the field is the second-best performance in school single game history behind only Shane James’ 9-of-9 in a December 2004 game against Niagara University. Barnard is also the eighth player in Loyola’s recorded history to make all of his shots from the field while attempting six or more.


Hubbard added 17 points, and Laster scored 13 to go with nine rebounds and four assists. Walker finished with 10 points.


Fanning’s 37 exceeded his previous career-high by 10. Mosley finished with 15 points, and John Papale had 10 for the Terriers.


The Greyhounds outrebounded Boston University, 40-26, and had a 15-5 advantage on the offensive boards. Loyola scored 24 points on second chances, but the Terriers capitalized on 15 Loyola turnovers to score 19 points.


Loyola’s second half lead came after the Greyhounds trailed by 10 with under a minute to play in the first half. The Greyhounds were down 43-35 at the break, but a Hubbard three tied the score less than four minutes into the second, and Barnard put them up after less than five minutes in the second half.


The Greyhounds return to Reitz Arena to start a two-game homestand on Wednesday, Jan. 20, when they host Bucknell University in a 7 p.m. game. The contest will air nationally on American Sports Network and in the Baltimore area on WBFF2-ThisTV. Check LoyolaGreyhounds.com for complete listings.

Eric Laster hit a 12-foot jumper to open the second half, and Rassman made two free throws followed by a midrange basket to push the Loyola advantage to its largest point, 34-27.

Loyola tied the game four times thereafter, but the Greyhounds (4-13, 3-4) could not gain a lead. After Chancellor Barnard knotted the score at 46-46 with a free throw at 9:58, Zach Thomas made a pair for the Bison to put them in the lead for good.


Bucknell made 23-of-37 free throws, while the Greyhounds were 13-of-22 from the charity stripe.


The Greyhounds controlled a 42-35 rebounding advantage, led by Gregory’s career-high tying 12.

Thu, January 21, 2016
RIVERDALE, NY – Monmouth’s men’s basketball team battled to take a late lead but ultimately fell to Manhattan at Draddy Gymnasium Thursday night, 78-71. MU is now 14-5 and 6-2 in conference, while Manhattan moves to 7-10 and 5-4 in the league.“Towards the end of the game we got back to the game plan and got ourselves back in it,” said head coach King Rice. “We didn’t finish. A lot of credit goes to Steve Masiello’s team.”Monmouth came back late in the contest after trailing by nine multiple times in the second half. MU led by as many as four on Micah Seaborn’s (Fort Worth, TX/Prime Prep Academy) elbow pull-up with 3:13 remaining before back-to-back Manhattan baskets tied it. With 1:57 to go, Robinson grabbed an offensive board and fed Chris Brady (Greenlawn, NY/Harborfields), who went up-and-in, plus the foul. After the play, both Brady and Manhattan’s Zane Waterman received technical fouls, disqualifying Waterman. After a missed Brady foul shot, Shane Richards hit a wing triple on the next possession, and after Calvin Crawford hit one-of-two from the line, Thomas Capuano hit a corner three to put the Jaspers up five and they would go on to win by seven.Down by six with 6:56 remaining, Monmouth went on a 7-0 run to take the lead. Deon Jones (Wilmington, DE/Sanford School [Towson] put one in before Justin Robinson (Lake Katrine, NY/Kingston) pulled up and drilled a three in transition to cut it to one. Robinson drove on the next trip and was fouled, hitting both to put MU up with 5:17 left.Manhattan led by as many as nine and between five and nine for the first 5:34 of the half. Waterman hit a three 57 seconds into the period to put them up nine, and they went back up by that margin on a Richards trey with 15:28 to play. Collin Stewart (Glenville, NY/Mekeel Christian Academy) hit a three to trim it to four, but Crawford answered right back from downtown to extend the Jaspers lead back to seven. Monmouth cut it back to four at 8:03 on Brady foul shots and again on a Brady dunk at 7:35 before the Hawks made the late run.Manhattan took a 36-30 lead into the locker room, leading by as many as seven in the half on a Crawford take with 2:05 showing. Just prior to that, Monmouth held a three-point lead on a Zac Tillman (Yeadon, PA/Shipley School) basket and Jones free throw. Monmouth jumped out to a 12-2 lead on triples from Seaborn and Jones and a Brady dunk. MU continued to lead, going up 19-10 at 12:45 of the first on a Hornbeak jumper. Manhattan went on a 10-0 run to go up 20-19 before the Jaspers eventually took a six-point lead at the break.Brady led Monmouth with 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting, while Jones had 14 and eight boards. Robinson added 11 as well as seven assists and six rebounds. Monmouth shot 44.8% from the field while Manhattan was 47.3% from the floor, led by Crawford with 20 points, Rich Williams with 15 and RaShawn Stores with 14.

MEN担 BASKETBALL NEVER TRAILS IN WIN OVER MARIST SUNDAY, 83-72
Courtesy Monmouth Sports Information
Sun, January 24, 2016
WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Justin Robinson (Lake Katrine, NY/Kingston) hit a career-high six first-half threes and scored 28 total points on the afternoon as the Hawks never trailed in beating Marist, 83-72 Sunday afternoon at The MAC. Monmouth is now 15-5 and 7-2 in conference this season, while Marist falls to 4-14 and 1-8 in the league.
“I’m proud of my kids,” said head coach King Rice. “We shook off an emotional loss Thursday for most of today’s game and got the win.”

The Hawks extended their lead to as high as 24, doing so on a pair of Micah Seaborn (Fort Worth, TX/Prime Prep Academy) free throws with 10:40 left shortly after Je’lon Hornbeak (Arlington, TX/Grace Prep) knocked down a wing triple. The Monmouth lead climbed back to 22 after Khallid Hart scored four in a row before a Diago Quinn (New York, NY/Lake Forest Academy [IL]) put back underneath with 7:42 remaining. The Red Foxes went on a 9-0 run to cut the deficit to 11, getting four points from Brian Parker and five from Ryan Funk including a dunk.

Josh James (Greenburgh, NY/Archbishop Stepinac) knocked down a corner three with 3:07 to go, extending Monmouth’s lead back to 12 after a Parker layup had cut it to nine. James followed with a pair of foul shots to make it 14, but five consecutive points from Funk trimmed it back to nine. Robinson and Seaborn combined to go 10-for-10 from the stripe in the final 1:30 to secure the win.

Robinson knocked in six triples in the opening half to give the Hawks a 13-point lead at the break. His first came at 16:01 to put the Blue and White up 10-4. Seaborn’s three at the 10:40 mark of the opening half put the home team up 19-12, and with 7:04 to play in the half, Robinson knocked home his second trey. He would add two more almost instantly to bump the MU lead to 12, hitting three in 1:24 between 7:04 and 5:57.

After a Deon Jones (Wilmington, DE/Sanford School [Towson]) elbow jumper put Monmouth up 11, Robinson pulled a long three to extend the lead to 14 on his fifth triple of the period. He would add his sixth just 22 seconds later and Quinn and Chris Brady (Greenlawn, NY/Harborfields) went on to convert baskets late in the stanza to send Monmouth to the locker room with a 42-29 advantage.

Robinson scored 28 points, topping 20 for the 12th time this season and coming a point short of a career high. He was 8-for-18 and 6-for-10 from downtown. Seaborn posted 16 points on 4-10 FG, and Jones went into double-digits with 13 and seven boards. The Hawks shot 45.8% from the field, 45.5% from deep and 82.6% from the line in leading for 39:33 after taking the 1-0 lead 27 seconds in.

Marist got 24 points from both Hart and Parker, while the latter added 12 rebounds for a double-double. Funk also pitched in 16 points, and the Red Foxes shot 34.3% from the floor, 19.4 % from the outside and 86.4% from the foul line.

Monmouth returns to action on Thursday night at Quinnipiac, with tip slated for 7:00 p.m.

Strong Shooting Night Send Men’s Basketball To Win At Holy Cross


WORCESTER, Mass. -- Jarred Jones and Andre Walker combined to score 21-straight Loyola University Maryland points during the second half, and the Greyhounds shot a season-best 57.7 percent from the field to beat host College of the Holy Cross, 71-54.


Jones finished with game-highs of 22 points, eight rebounds and four steals; Walker added 15 points, 11 coming after halftime, and three assists.


A Jones basket in the paint 1:57 into the second half started the stretch where the two shouldered the scoring load, and a Walker 3-point play with a layup and free throw 25 seconds later pushed the Greyhounds’ advantage to 18, 46-28.


Holy Cross (8-12 overall, 3-6 Patriot League), however, scored 14 of the next 16 points to get within six, 48-42, on a Robert Champion three with 12:56 left in regulation.


Coming out of a Loyola timeout, Walker knocked down a 12-foot pull-up jumper, and he scored on Loyola’s next possession to put the lead back in double figures.


Karl Charles, who led the Crusaders with 17 points, found room in the pain to score, but Walker came back with a pair of free throws to make it 54-44 Loyola.


Holy Cross had one more run in it, but this was limited to five in a row as Jehyve Floyd scored in the paint and Malachi Alexander knocked down a three from the left side to cut the Crusaders’ deficit to five, 54-49, with 9:10 left.


On Loyola’s next possession, Jones caught a Tyler Hubbard pass and scored to stop the mini-run, and Loyola forced a missed three by Alexander on Holy Cross’ offensive end. With the shot clock winding down, Hubbard missed a driving layup, but Jones was there to tip in the putback at 8:05.


Franz Rassman pulled down the defensive rebound after a missed Pat Benzan three for Holy Cross, and Jones converted again for Loyola to stretch the lead back to 11, 60-49, at 7:25.


Neither Loyola (5-13, 4-4), nor the Crusaders would score for nearly three minutes until Jones used a Chancellor Barnard pass to score inside at 4:31. Loyola’s lead was then 13, and it would stay at 11 or more for the remainder of the game.


Jones, who scored Loyola’s first six points of the game before being limited to just six first-half minutes due to a pair of fouls, finished 10-of-14 from the field; he scored his 22 in the same number of minutes. Rassman was 5-of-7 with 10 points, and Walker made 6-of-10.


Loyola’s 57.7 percent mark from the field eclipsed the 52.5 percent it shot in November at Saint Bonaventure University. It was also the Greyhounds’ best percentage from the field in more than three years since they shot 60.4 in a Jan. 17, 2013, win over Marist College.


Meanwhile, the Greyhounds held Holy Cross to just 38.3 percent from the field. The Crusaders led for just 63 seconds in the first half.


Loyola took the lead for good with an Eric Laster putback at 12:57 in the first half. Holy Cross drew within three, 25-22, on a Champion layup at 6:11, but the Greyhounds held them to just two points for the remainder of the half, going on a 14-2 run to lead 39-24 at the break.


The Greyhounds return to Reitz Arena for their next two contests, starting with a 7 p.m. game on Saturday, Jan. 30, against Lafayette College.

Laster’s Late Threes Lift Men’s Basketball Over Colgate


BALTIMORE -- Eric Laster made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 8.4 seconds left in regulation, and Loyola University Maryland defeated visiting Colgate University, 68-65, Monday night in Patriot League action.


Moments earlier, Laster gave Loyola a 63-62 lead with he knocked down a three from the left corner with the shot clock expiring at 2:10, but the Raiders (10-12 overall, 6-5 Patriot League) pushed back in front with a Jordan Swopshire three 45 seconds later.


Swopshire’s three gave Colgate a 65-63 advantage, and Loyola (7-14, 6-4) missed a pair of shots on its offensive end.


The Raiders got the offensive matchup they wanted when Cam Gregory switched to defend Austin Tillotson, but the Loyola post player stayed in front of Tillotson who misfired from close range. Gregory got the offensive rebound, and Loyola called a timeout with 26.5 seconds remaining.


Andre Walker tested the right side before flipping a pass back to Laster at the top of the right wing. Laster hit the three, his third of the game to put Loyola on top in a game that saw 13 lead changes and 11 ties.


Colgate had plenty of time to score, but Tillotson had a layup blocked by Jarred Jones. Chancellor Barnard grabbed the rebound for Loyola, was fouled and made two free throws with 1.2 ticks left.


Barnard then picked off the Raiders’ long inbound pass, sealing the Greyhounds’ third-straight victory.


Laster finished with a team-high 18 points, and Walker had 17 to go with five assists and three steals. Jones scored 11, and Gregory led all players with 10 rebounds.


Loyola led by as many as five, 46-41, in the second half when Walker converted a layup and free throw at 15:06, but an Alex Ramon layup and Swopshire three quickly tied the score 38 seconds later.


Colgate managed a five-point lead of its own on four-straight Ramon points; his layup with 8:38 left put the Raiders in front, 58-53.


That basket, however, was the last either team would score until Franz Rassman scored down low for Loyola with 4:27 left breaking a scoreless stretch of five minutes, 45 seconds for Loyola.

Siena Holds On In New Rochelle vs. Iona MBB, 81-78
Courtesy ICGaels.com
Sat, February 13, 2016
NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona College men's basketball team suffered a 81-78 defeat to Siena in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play at the Hynes Center. Despite a 23-9 turnover margin in favor of the Gaels, the Saints erased a 12-point second half deficit and held on as a game-tying shot by senior A.J. English was just short at the buzzer.

English led all scorers with 31 points. He added eight assists and five rebounds in the loss. Senior Isaiah Williams chipped in 20 points, six rebounds and four steals while graduate Aaron Rountree had 12 points, two steals and two blocks. Senior Ibn Muhammad had a season-high eight assists to go along with four rebounds and three steals. Sophomore Deyshonee Much also had four steals in the loss.

Siena was led by freshman Nico Clareth's 20-point, seven rebound effort. Both juniors Brett Bisping and Javion Ogunyemi had 19 points. Bisping completed a double-double with 13 boards while Ogunyemi posted a game-high four blocked shots.

The Gaels built a 63-51 second half advantage with 11:27 to play following a Williams three-pointer. The lead was trimmed to one point over the next 3:40 as the Saints scored 11 straight points as the Gaels missed six straight shot attempts. Senior Ryan Oliver's three-pointer from the wing gave Siena its first lead since the midway point of the first half with 5:39 to play at 67-65. The Saints led by as many as seven points with 2:17 to play. Iona scored six straight with four English free throws and a Muhammad layup with 42 ticks remaining to make it a one point game.

With a chance to tie with less than 10 seconds remaining, Ogunyemi corralled a missed layup by English and appeared to step out of bounds, but a foul was called on Rountree sending the Siena big man to the line for two free throws and a four point, 80-76 lead. The Gaels scored quickly on an English dunk. Clareth converted 1-of-2 with five ticks left after he was fouled on the inbound attempt by the Saints. English's 40-footer from straight away rimmed out and the Gaels lost just their second home contest of the season.

Iona plays its penultimate game at the Hynes Center Monday evening against Quinnipiac with its toughest road trip of the season to follow at Monmouth, Siena and Manhattan.

Second-Half Surge Can’t Get Men’s Basketball Past Terriers


BALTIMORE -- Boston University opened up a 17-point lead in the first half, a gap Loyola University Maryland narrowed to three with less than three minutes to play Saturday afternoon, but the Terriers left Reitz Arena with a 71-65 victory over the Greyhounds in Patriot League action.


The Greyhounds (8-17 overall, 7-7 Patriot League) made just one of their first 17 shots in the game, but when Cam Gregory scored Loyola’s second field goal of the game with 12:49 to go in the first half, the Greyhounds were down just four, 9-5.


Over the next five minutes, however, Boston University did not miss on any of its seven shots from the field, and a Nick Havener dunk at 7:39 gave the Terriers a 29-12 advantage.


Andre Walker, who scored a game-high 16 points, hit a setback, baseline jumper with 30.2 seconds left in the first half, and Loyola was within a dozen, 36-24, at the break.


Loyola scored 10 of the second half’s first 12 points, eight coming inside the paint. Eric Laster’s fast-break layup after a steal closed the margin to four, 38-34, just 4:25 into the second half, but John Papale responded with a stepback three 15 ticks later, putting up seven.


The Terriers got their advantage back to double-digits thereafter, but for the next 13-plus minutes it hung in the five to seven-point range.


Laster knocked down a jumper in the lane at 2:35, and it was a one-possesion game with the Greyhounds trailing, 63-60.


Boston University, however, scored the next four points on two Papale free throws and a layup by Eric Fanning, and Loyola could not draw closer than three.


Four Greyhounds -- Walker (16), Franz Rassman (14), Chancellor Barnard (12) and Laster (10) -- scored in double-figured, but five recorded 10 or more for Boston Unviersity. Papale, Fanning and Kyle Foreman each scored 14 for the Terriers’ cause.


Rassman had his second career double-double, grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds to go with his 14 points, but Fanning also had a double-double for Boston University with 14 points and 15 rebounds.


The Greyhounds embark on a two-game road trip, starting on Wednesday, Feb. 17, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, at 7 p.m. against Bucknell University.

Sat, February 20, 2016
WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Monmouth University’s men’s basketball (22-6, 14-3 MAAC) team had its eight-game win streak snapped by Iona College (16-10, 13-5 MAAC) on Friday night, dropping an 83-67 decision to the Gaels. Justin Robinson (Lake Katrine, NJ/Kingston) led Monmouth in scoring with 21 points, while A.J. English led all scorers with 31. Monmouth hosted a crowd of 4,522, a MAC facility record.

“We’ve been on a good, good streak but all the credit goes to Iona for how they played tonight,” said head coach King Rice.

Chris Brady (Greenlawn, NY/Harborfields)’s dunk on Monmouth’s opening possession of the second half sparked a 7-4 run in the opening minutes of the period but Iona kept pace from behind the arc, leading 55-35 with 15:20 left in the contest. Josh James’ (Greenburgh, NY/Archbishop Stepinac) triple was answered by an Ibn Muhammed basket. Back-to-back Austin Tilghman (Wilmington, DE/Archbishop Carroll [PA]) buckets after Muhammad was hit with a flagrant foul put Monmouth back 17, 61-44.

The Hawks closed to 14 over the next nine minutes, including two strong drives from Tilghman. MU then cut the Iona lead to 11 on Micah Seaborn (Fort Worth, TX/Prime Prep Academy)’s second consecutive three pointer with 4:11 to play, making it 69-58.

Iona’s AJ English answered with a shot from long range that gave the senior his 25th point of the night and Iona a 72-58 lead with 3:43 to play. Monmouth would close to 11 on a Robinson three-pointer with 3:27 remaining and immediately forced a turnover in the back court. MU turned it over shortly after and Isaiah Williams converted a layup to extend the lead back to 13. MU would not get closer, eventually falling for the first time this season at home.

Monmouth committed 11 first-half turnovers and shot just 28% from the floor as Iona built a 19-point lead heading into the break.

The teams went back and forth over the first four minutes with Robinson’s first triple of the night breaking an eight-all tie to put Monmouth ahead 11-8. Iona answered with an 11-3 run of its own over the next 4:30 to take a 19-14 advantage with 11:21 left in the first frame. Monmouth turned it over on five possessions and went 7:14 without a bucket until Robinson drove through three Gaels and hit a layup, but Iona’s lead had widened to 29-16. After the Iona lead grew to as much as 41-20, Monmouth hit a pair of late shots to cut the halftime deficit to 44-25.

English scored 31 while Aaron Rountree added 13 and Deyshonee Much scored 11. Jordan Washington also worked into double-figures with 10 as Iona shot 46.3% from the field.

Robinson led the Hawks with 21, while Tilghman added 15 on 6-11. Seaborn finished with 12, and Brady and Robinson tied for the team-high with eight rebounds apiece. MU shot 30.7% on the night.

The Hawks are back in action Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. for a conference matchup with Saint Peter’s at the Yanitelli Center.

LSU Baseball Report

For Immediate Release – February 21, 2015


LSU DEFEATS CINCINNATI 12-4; SWEEPS OPENING SERIES OF 2016 SEASON

BATON ROUGE, La. – Fifth-ranked LSU blasted four home runs and collected 10 hits Sunday to defeat Cincinnati, 12-4, and sweep the series at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

LSU improved to 3-0, while Cincinnati dropped to 0-3 ton conclude the opening weekend of the 2016 season.

LSU will travel to Beaumont, Texas, on Wednesday to face Lamar. The game will be televised on Cox Sports Televisoin and will also be broadcast live on 98.1 FM in Baton Rouge and LSU Sport Radio Network affiliates. Fans can also go to LSUsports.net for live stats and audio through the GeauxZone.

LSU senior starter John Valek III (1-0) made his debut in Purple and Gold, earning the win after throwing 5.2 innings and give up four runs, two earned. The southpaw only allowed four hits and struck out seven.

“I thought Valek did a very credible job out there today,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “He was a little nervous at first, but he settled in and pitched very effectively. He’s not a strikeout pitcher, but he did a nice job of keeping their hitters off balance and ended up with seven strikeouts.”

Bearcats reliever A.J. Olasz (0-1) suffered the loss after surrendering three runs—two earned—in 2.1 innings pitched.

The Tigers hit four home runs in Sunday’s win, which marked the most dingers in a game for LSU since the Tigers belted five home runs in a 27-0 win over Northwestern State on May 13, 2014.

“The bats really came alive today, and we played the way we’re capable of offensively,” Mainieri said. “Early in the game, it looked like we had good pitches to hit, and we were just mis-hitting some balls. Then, we started to square some balls up and drive them out of the park.”

The Tigers’ home run power surge was led by junior DH Bryce Adams, who launched a grand slam, and by junior catcher Jordan Romero, who hit a solo homer to cap a 3-for-4 weekend at the plate with four RBI, including a game-winning walk-off single on Friday night. A two-run blast by freshman third baseman O’Neal Lochridge in the fourth inning broke a 2-2 and gave the Tigers the lead for good.

Cincinnati was quick to drive in two runs in the top of the first on a pair of hits and a sacrifice fly to give the Bearcats the early 2-0 lead.

In the bottom of the second with two outs, Cincinnati freshman left-hander Cam Alldred issued four consecutive walks to score centerfielder Jake Fraley. LSU trailed Cincinnati 2-1 after one inning.

The Tigers tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the third after first baseman Bryce Jordan scored from third on a sacrifice fly by Romero.

LSU took the lead in the fourth inning after right fielder Antoine Duplantis reached on an error and Lochridge hit his first career home run into the left field bleachers, giving the Tigers the 4-2 advantage.

In the bottom of the fifth with the bases loaded and no outs, Adams took the first pitch from reliever Jack Bergren over the fence for his first his first hit of the season. Duplantis followed Adams’ grand slam with a single to left and scored from third on a single by shortstop Cole Freeman to put LSU up 9-2.

Cincinnati third baseman Devin Wenzel led off the top of the sixth with a solo home run, and catcher Woody Wallace followed with a two-out solo home run, cutting into LSU’s 9-4 lead.

LSU extended its lead to 12-4 in the bottom of the six after Fraley led off the inning with a single and Beau Jordan and Romero hit back-to-back home runs.

Junior right-hander Russell Reynolds worked 1.1 innings, gave up one hit and struck out three. Doug Norman, a sophomore right-hander, pitched a scoreless eighth inning and gave up one walk. Freshman Cole McKay made his LSU debut, pitching 0.1 innings, allowing two hits and walking one.

Left-hander Hunter Devall pitched the remainder of the ninth and struck out one.

BASEBALL DROPS DOUBLEHEADER TO BRYANT SATURDAY
Courtesy Monmouth Sports Information
Sun, February 21, 2016
CARY, NC – Monmouth University’s baseball team (1-2) dropped a doubleheader on Saturday to Bryant (3-0), falling in the first game 8-5 before dropping the nightcap 8-4 in 17 innings. Freshmen pitchers Jordan McCrum (Dallas, PA/Dallas Senior) and Joe Molettiere (Sellersville, PA/Pennridge) made their collegiate debuts in Game Two, combining to throw eight shutout innings with six strikeouts and just two hits. 17 innings is Monmouth’s longest game since March 9, 2008 at UCF, a 16-inning affair.

In Game Two, Monmouth and Bryant held each other off the scoreboard for nine innings between the eighth and 16th before the Bulldogs broke through for four in the 17th. Brandon Bingel and AJ Zarozny both singled, and after an intentional walk to Dan Cellucci, Mickey Gasper sent a three-run double to right center to put the Bulldogs in front. Bryant would add a run later to take an 8-4 lead, and Oliver Powers finished his relief outing by closing out the Hawks in the bottom of the inning.

Neither team scored from the eighth until Bryant broke through in the 17th. A pair of freshmen for the Hawks, McCrum and Molettiere, combined to keep the Bulldogs off the board for the majority of that, allowing just four baserunners between them.

Monmouth took a 4-2 lead in the fifth inning, getting an RBI double from Shaine Hughes (Sewell, NJ/Washington Township) after Grant Lamberton (Newark, DE/Salesianum) walked and Robbie Alessandrine (Sewell, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) singled. Dan Shea (Wilmington, DE/Salesianum) followed Hughes with a two-run single to put the Hawks in front.

The Bulldogs responded with single runs in both the sixth and seventh to tie the game. Buck McCarthy had the run-scoring base hit in the sixth, and Bingel’s RBI ground out in the seventh tied it.

Trailing 2-0 in the fourth, Pete Papcun (Brick, NJ/Christian Brothers Academy) sent a double down the left field line to score Shea, who had led the inning off with a walk. Bryant posted runs in the second and third on a Joe Paparelli double and an unearned run in the third.

Alessandrine, Hughes and Chris Gaetano (Madison Township, PA/Scranton Preparatory) all had two hits apiece for MU, while Monmouth’s three freshmen relievers combined for 10 innings and allowed a run on four hits, including two innings from James Kelly (Oceanport, NJ/Shore Regional). Ricky Dennis (Warrington, PA/Central Bucks South) made the start, allowing three runs, two earned, on five hits through six. Ben Hoffman (Berlin, NJ/Voorhees) took the loss for the Hawks.

Three Bulldogs had two hits, and nine pitchers threw for the Bulldogs. Powers earned the win with 2.1 scoreless relief innings, while Steve Theetge originally started and allowed four runs in 4.1 frames.

In the first game, MU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first on RBI singles from Shea and Cary Jacobson (Los Angeles, CA/Palisades). Bryant got three back in the bottom of the inning, all unearned, on two Monmouth errors to lead 3-2.

Lamberton put the Hawks right back in front in the top of the second with a two-run single, and MU held that 4-3 lead into the fourth when Lamberton drove in another run with a base hit to extend Monmouth’s lead to 5-3.

Bryant took a 6-5 lead in the fifth, getting run-scoring hits from Zarozny and Robby Rinn. The Bulldogs plated two more in the seventh to go up 8-5, the eventual final score.

Lamberton went 4-for-5 with three RBI’s, and Christian Holland (Pittsburgh, PA/Baldwin) had two hits. Anthony Ciavarella (Phillipsburg, NJ/Phillipsburg) started and worked four innings, and Tyler Ksiazek (South Abington Township, PA/Abington Heights) took the loss for Monmouth. Jesse Fante (Moorestown, NJ/Moorestown) delivered 1.2 shutout innings.

Garrison Banas got the win for Bryant throwing 3.2 shutout relief innings. Starter James Davitt allowed all five runs in 3.2 innings.

The Hawks are back in action at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow in Cary, NC to take on Army West Point.

Colgate Hits Half-Court Winner In Overtime Against Men’s Hoops


HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Colgate University’s Austin Tillotson hit a half-court 3-pointer as time expired in overtime to give the Raiders a 93-90 Patriot League victory over visiting Loyola University Maryland at Cotterell Court.


Andre Walker knocked down one of his career-high four 3-pointers at the offensive end for the Greyhounds, tying the game with 2.9 seconds left. Tillotson, however, got the inbound pass and let go a half-court shot that swished home for the win.


No more than three points have decided the last four meetings between the teams. Earlier this year, Eric Laster hit a three with less than 10 seconds to go to give Loyola a 68-65 win in Baltimore. Loyola won by two last year in triple overtime, and the Raiders claimed a one-point win on their home court.


Loyola (8-19 overall, 7-9 Patriot League) rallied from seven down in the second half to force overtime, thanks in large part to 20 points after the break from Eric Laster.


Laster finished with a game- and career-high 26 points, making 5-of-6 3-pointers, all in the second half.


An Alex Ramon layup with 9:34 left in regulation put Colgate up, 60-53, but Loyola scored the next seven points to tie the score on two Walker free throws at 7:57.


Ramon scored in the paint again at 7:13, but Walker hit a three to put Loyola on top for the first time in more than 11 minutes.


The Greyhounds’ 63-62 lead was short-lived, however, as Tom Rivard converted in the paint for Colgate (14-14, 10-7). Laster, however knocked down a three off a Tyler Hubbard assist at 6:13, staking the Greyhounds to a two-point advantage.


Chancellor Barnard then scored on Loyola’s next possession, making it a four-point lead before Sean O’Brien hit a three for Colgate. Jordan Swopshire then made a basket with 4:35 on the clock, giving the Raiders a 69-68 advantage.


The teams again traded leads before Ramon put the home team ahead by two, 74-72, with a three at 3:14. Franz Rassman made the first of two free throws, though, for Loyola, and Laster knocked down another three to make it a 76-74 Greyhounds’ lead.


O’Brien answered for Colgate with a three at 2:19, and the lead swung back to Colgate’s advantage, 77-76.


Laster, however, was not done with his outside shooting, making a three at 1:59 to put Loyola up two.


The teams traded empty possessions, but O’Brien capitalized on space inside to score with 32 ticks left, and the score was tied at 79-79.


Loyola got a shot for Laster with under five seconds to play, but it rimmed out, and the teams headed to overtime.


Colgate went up by as many as five late in the extra period as a Ramon basket put the Raiders in front, 87-82. Walker, however, knocked down a three with just under a minute to go, and it was a one-possession game.


The Raiders missed on their offensive end, but Loyola turned the ball over and had to foul with 18 seconds left. Swopshire hit a pair of free throws to make it an 89-85 Raiders’ lead.


Walker drove and scored with 11 seconds left, and Loyola was back within a pair. The Greyhounds fouled Tillotson with 10.1 on the clock, and he missed the first of the free throws before knocking down the second.


With that shot, the Raiders were up, 90-87, but Walker hit his stepback three with 2.9 left to tie the score at 90-90.


Tillotson picked the ball up near the free throw line and let go of his shot with time on the clock, hitting it to give the Raiders the win.


Laster’s 26 topped his previous high of 24 set last season at Butler University. Walker added 22, 16 coming in the second half and overtime, and Rassman tallied 15. Barnard scored 123 to go with eight rebounds, while Cam Gregory had seven of each.


Tillotson’s three gave him 20 points, while O’Brien and Ramon each had 18.


The Greyhounds return to the court on Wednesday, Feb. 24, to celebrate Senior Night prior to playing College of the Holy Cross at 7:30 p.m.

Iona MBB Gets Another Big Road Win At Siena, 87-81
Courtesy ICGaels.com
Mon, February 22, 2016
ALBANY, NY - The Iona College men's basketball team saw a 21-point halftime deficit erased late in the second half, but held on for an 87-81 win at Siena in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play at the Times Union Center. With the win, the Gaels can finish no lower than the No. 2 seed in next weekend's MAAC Championship and a Friday night quarterfinal round date in Albany.

Senior A.J. English scored a game-high 32 points, grabbed seven rebounds and connected on six three-point field goals including a go-ahead connection with 3:33 left and another that made it a six-point game two minutes later to all but seal the win. It was his second straight 30+ point effort, the second time in his career he has done so and just the 10th time in program history it has occurred. Of the eight Iona performers to hit the mark only English and Steve Burtt Sr. have done it more than once. Warren Isaac (1964), Jeff Ruland (1978), Burtt Sr. (1983, 1984 twice), Sean Green (1991), Steve Burtt Jr. (2006), Mike Glover (2010), Lamont Jones (2013) and now English (2014, 2016 twice).

Sophomore Deyshonee Much complemented the effort with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Junior Jordan Washington had eight points and nine rebounds in 14 minutes due to foul trouble. Graduate Aaron Rountree filled the stat sheet with six points, eight rebounds and a team high five assists while adding a block and a steal. Freshmen Rickey McGill and Jahaad Proctor and senior Isaiah Williams added five a piece and senior Ibn Muhammad had three huge points for the Gaels, a three-pointer from the right corner with less than a minute to play to make it a three-possession game.

Juniors Lavon Long and Javion Ogunyemi posted 18 points a piece for the home team. Junior Brett Bisping had a 17-point, 18-rebound double-double while junior Marquis Wright had 11 points in his second game back from a long injury.

Iona led by as many as 25 points with 1:16 to play in the first half. The Saints scored four points to end the frame and go into halftime down 57-36. The Gaels connected on 10-of-13 three-point attempts in the first half and were led by 22 points from English and 14 from Much.

Siena crept back into the game in the second half with a 16-2 run over a 3:46 stretch early that made it a single-digit deficit with 15:03 to play. The Gaels recaptured a 16 point lead with 11:01 remaining after two English free throws made the score 72-56. Siena proceeded to score the game's next 17 points as the Gaels went ice cold shooting 0-for-9 from the field and 0-for-2 from the line with four turnovers over a 7:24 span.

The Saints led for approximately four seconds before English's first dagger with 3:33 gave Iona a 75-73 lead. Long tied it with a layup on the next possession but the Gaels scored 12 of the game's next 15 points before a late three by Siena's Evan Fisher rounded out the scoring.

The Gaels complete their toughest road trip of the season Friday night at Manhattan at 7:00 pm on ESPNU.

Men’s Basketball Leads Near Wire-To-Wire In 78-63 Win Over Crusaders


BALTIMORE -- James Fives made a 3-pointer from the right side with less than two seconds left in the first half, giving Loyola University Maryland a 10-point halftime lead, and the Greyhounds would maintain a double-digit lead for the remainder of the game to defeat College of the Holy Cross, 78-63, Wednesday night in Patriot League action.


With the win, the Greyhounds secured a home game in the Patriot League Championships First Round and will host either Holy Cross or Lafayette College in Reitz Arena on Tuesday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. The victory also secured the Greyhounds’ best record in conference play since joining the Patriot League with their eighth win of the year.


Fives’ first three of the night, part of his career-high 10 points, gave Loyola a 13-11 advantage with 13:57 left in the first half, erasing the last time the Crusaders (10-18 overall, 5-12 Patriot League) would lead in the game.


Holy Cross would tie the score twice in the next few minutes, but Franz Rassmanmade 1-of-2 at the line with 8:26 to go in the first half, and Tyler Hubbard made one of his three 3-pointers at 7:23, putting Loyola (9-19, 8-9) up for good.


Fives caught an Andre Walker pass on the right side and hit his second three of the game, sending the teams to the locker rooms with Loyola on top, 33-23.


Just over five minutes into the second half, Nick Gorski converted in the paint off a Sean Tuohy, Jr., pass, and the Greyhounds’ lead was 20, 48-28.


Tuohy would then skip a pass to Eric Laster in the right corner for a three at 13:57 to put Loyola in front by 21, its largest lead of the game.


An 8-0 Crusaders run that culminated with a Karl Charles fast-break layup at 4:58 drew Holy Cross within 10, 66-56, but Loyola scored the next six points at the free-throw line to maintain a double-digit lead.


Walker scored a game-high 15 points to go with six assists, leading four Loyola players in double figures. Rassman scored 13, while Hubbard tallied 11 and Fives scored 10. Cam Gregory nearly had his second double-double of the season, falling a pair of points shy with eight to go with a game-high 11 rebounds.


Charles led Holy Cross with 15 points, while Cullen Hamilton had 13.


Loyola controlled a 40-24 rebounding advantage and held Holy Cross to just three offensive rebounds.


The Greyhounds wrap up their regular-season on Saturday, Feb. 27, when they travel to Washington, D.C., to face American University in a 12 noon contest.

Rutgers Softball Splits Opening Day at Spartan Classic

Scarlet Knights top Brown, fall to host UNCG



GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 4, 2016) – The Rutgers softball team split opening day of the Spartan Classic on Friday with a win over Brown and a loss to host UNCG. RU registered a 10-3 victory over Brown before suffering a 8-4 loss to UNCG.

The Scarlet Knights improved to an overall mark of 3-12 on the season. Meanwhile, the Bears dropped to a mark of 4-2 and the Spartans improved to a record of 8-7.

GAME ONE: RUTGERS VS. BROWN – W, 10-3


Rutgers (3-11, 0-0 Big Ten) opened its day with a 10-3 victory over Brown (4-2, 0-0 Ivy League).


Freshman Whitney Jones (Santa Monica, Calif.) picked up the second victory of her career (2-2), while Katie Orona suffered the loss for the Bears (2-1).


RU posted a season-high 14 hits, led by seniors Jordan Whitley (Clayton, Del.) and Melanie Slowisnki (Severn, Md.) with three hits each in the win. Sophomore Rebecca Hall (Fairfax, Va.) notched two of her own, including a two-run home run.

Brown was led by Julia Schoenewald and Ashli Lotz with two hits each in the loss, highllighted by a double from Lotz.

Trailing 1-0, RU found its rhythm at the plate in the top of the third. Following a walk for Huang, Hall and Whitley notched consecutive hits to load the bases. Slowinski kept things rolling with RU’s third straight hit to send both Huang and Whitley home, giving RU the lead, 2-1.

The Scarlet Knights were not finished there, as a walk for freshman Adriana Burcar (La Palma, Calif.)reloaded the bases. RU would then tack on two more runs as Hall scored on a fielder’s choice and Slowinski on an error to push the Scarlet Knight advantage to 5-1 in the top half of the third.

Depsite letting up a hit, Jones induced a lineout to strand the runner on and end the frame unharmed. Behind the solid defensive work, Rutgers continued to expand its lead in the top of the fourth.

Whitley led off the frame with a single, ultimately reaching third on a passed ball. After a single from Slowinski sent Whitley across, a walk for Burcar and a single from junior Carly Todd (Deptford, N.J.)loaded the bases. Senior Elizabeth Adams (Crystal Lake, Ill.) joined the rally with an RBI single to give RU a 7-1 lead.

In the latter half of the fourth, Yeram Park led things off with a double followed by a hit single for Lotz. Schoenewald then registered a double of her own to send Park home. Although junior Shayla Sweeney(Barrington, N.J.) entered the circle in relief and struck out the first batter she face, Brown added another another run on a single to cut into the RU lead, 7-3.

Rutgers never let up as back-to-back hits from senior Stephanie Huang (Paramus, N.J.) and Whitley and a walk for Hall loaded the bases to start the fifth inning. Huang would then score on groundout to push the Scarlet Knight edge to 8-3.

With the 8-3 edge still intact in the top of the seventh, Hall blasted a two-run homer to right field to set the RU lead, 10-3. Sweeney retired the final three Bears batters to the plate, marking six straight batters being left at the plate to close the win.

GAME TWO: RUTGERS AT UNCG – L, 8-4



Rutgers (3-12, 0-0 Big Ten) fell to host UNCG (8-7, 0-0 SoCon) in its second contest of the day by a score of 8-4.



Senior Dresden Maddox (Kennesaw, Ga.) suffered the loss for RU (0-5), while UNCG’s Bryden earned the victory (6-3).

Stephanie Huang paced the Scarlet Knights, tying her season-high with three hits. Junior Bridget Carr(Pequannock, N.J.) and Melanie Slowinski followed with two hits each in the loss, marking the sixth game this season with two or more Scarlet Knights with multiple hits on the stat sheet.

UNCG was led by four Spartans with two hits apiece in the game, highlighted by Sidney Grkman with two hits, two runs and 1 RBI. Rebecca Kale posted a three-run home run in the contest for a game-high three RBI.

Rutgers set an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Whitley registered a walk and would go on to cross home on an error. Maddox then worked a 1-2-3 inning to hold the RU edge.

After a scoreless top half for Rutgers, UNCG's Kale registered a three-run homer to give the Spartans the lead, 3-1 in the bottom of the second.

The Scarlet Knights posted a run to start the third inning, cutting the margin to one run. However, The Spartans responded with four runs on five hits and an error to generate a 7-2 lead after three.

Carr drew a walk to lead off the fourth, igniting a slight rally for RU. Burcar followed with a walk of her own, while Huang contributed an RBI single to bring the deficit to 7-3.

UNCG responded with another run on an RU miscue to push its total to 8-3. Despite Rutgers adding an additional run in the top of the fifth and the defense denying any further Spartan runs, it is as close as the Scarlet Knights would come.

UP NEXT
Rutgers continues its weekend at the Spartan Classic on Saturday, starting with a game against North Carolina Central at 9:30 a.m. ET. The Scarlet Knights wrap up the day with a rematch against UNCG at 2:30 p.m.

ALBANY, NY - No. 2 seeded Iona College men's basketball team downed No. 7 Canisius 73-55 in quarterfinal round action at the 2016 MAAC Championship at the Times Union Center. Senior A.J. English had a 20-point, 10-assist double-double and flirted with a triple-double by adding seven boards in the win. The 55 points surrendered in the contest was the second-lowest of the season for the Maroon & Gold.

English was supported by 18 points from senior Isaiah Williams and a career-high 14 from rookie Rickey McGill of the bench in the win. Williams also posted seven boards while McGill posted five. Freshman Jahaad Proctor recorded nine second half points for the Gaels.

Canisius junior Phil Valenti led his team with 13 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore Kassius Robertson was held to 11 points after a 24-point outburst on Sunday vs. the Gaels in the regular season finale. Senior Kevin Bleeker had 10 points in the loss.

Iona opened a double-digit advantage midway through the second half on graduate Aaron Rountree's alley up layup on a feed from senior Ibn Muhammad at 8:59. After two Bleeker free throws made it 33-24 with 5:08 left, an English layup sparked a 9-0 run and the Gaels led by 18 just three minutes later. The Maroon & Gold led by as many as 24 points in the second half.

Iona out shot (46.6% - 42.0%), out rebounded (39-31) and had a 19-10 assist advantage over Canisius. The Gaels committed just seven turnovers in the win.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LSU SPORTS INFORMATION - March 5, 2015


LSU USES LATE RALLY TO SWEEP SERIES OVER FORDHAM, 10-7


BATON ROUGE, La. – Trailing 7-3, sixth-ranked LSU used a seven-run seventh inning to defeat Fordham 10-7 and sweep the series Saturday evening at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.


In the first game of the day, the Tigers posted a 15-1 victory over the Rams. LSU improved to 9-2 with the win in the nightcap, while Fordham dropped to 3-7 for the season.


“That was an amazing inning,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri of the Tigers’ rally in the seventh. “There were some tremendous at-bats, especially with two outs. Our players showed a lot of character when it look like it might not be our night, and the inning showed the type of team we’re capable of becoming. I think this type of win will create more confidence within our team, and it’s something we can build upon.”


With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh, shortstop Kramer Robertson ripped a double down the left-field line to clear the bases and tie the game at 7-7. Centerfielder Jake Fraley followed with a single to shortstop to score Robertson and give the Tigers an 8-7 lead.


A triple to right-center field by right fielder Antoine Duplantis and double to right field by Beau Jordan made it a 10-7 game.


Freshman right-hander Caleb Gilbert (1-1) earned his first career win Saturday night after allowing just two hits in 2.1 innings of work. Gilbert entered the game in the top of the seventh with the bases loaded and two out. Gilbert struck out centerfielder Jason Lundy on a 2-2 pitch to get out of the jam.


“When I put the Caleb in the game, I told him that one day I’m going to bring him in when the bases aren’t loaded,” Mainieri laughed. “He just smiled and took the baseball from me and did a fantastic job. That young man is going to be special, and he’s already demonstrated that he has poise to be an excellent reliever.”


Fordham’s David Manasek (0-1) suffered his first loss of the season. Manasek gave up three runs, one walk and two hits to the Tigers in the seventh.


LSU returns to The Box for its first midweek home game of the season against Louisiana Tech at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The game may be viewed live online via SEC Network +, accessible at WatchESPN.com and the Watch ESPN app. Live audio of the games may be accessed at www.LSUsports.net/live with live stats at www.LSUstats.com.


The game can also be heard on affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network, including flagship WDGL-FM 98.1 FM in Baton Rouge.


The speed of the LSU lineup paid dividends as the Tigers got out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Left fielder Jake Fraley hit a one-out single up the middle and then followed by stealing second and third. Duplantis hit a single to shallow left-center field for an RBI double. Leftfielder Beau Jordan then drove in Duplantis on a one-out single to left field.


The Tigers added another run in the second inning off of a sacrifice fly by second baseman Cole Freeman. Catcher Michael Papierski started the inning with a ground-rule double to right-center field and moved to third on a ground out by first baseman Greg Deichmann. Papierski eventually made it home on the sacrifice by Freeman.


The Rams began their rally in the third inning against LSU starter Alex Lange. Shortstop Joseph DeVito led off with a single to center field and moved to second on a ground out and third on a wild pitch by Lange. DeVito eventually scored on a wild pitch by Lange with two outs.


Fordham took a 4-3 lead with a three-run fifth inning. DeVito led off with a single up the middle and moved to second on a ground out. After Lundy walked, another ground out pushed the runners to second and third. Left fielder Ryan McNally then hit a two-out, two-RBI single up the middle. Fordham plated its final run of the inning on a single up the middle by Mark Donadio.


The Rams extended their lead to 6-3 with a two-run sixth. Luke Stampfl scored on single by Lundy to right field. Lundy advanced to second on the throw and then scored on a throwing error by third baseman Trey Dawson.


The final Fordham run came in the seventh inning to push the lead to 7-3. Matthew Kozuch and Donadio reached on a double and a walk, respectively. The runners moved to second and third on a sacrifice and Stampfl brought Kozuch home on a single to left field.

Alexander Qualifies for NCAAs at B1G Championships

Terps 14th in Field After Day One


IOWA CITY, Iowa – Redshirt senior Geoffrey Alexander (133) earned an automatic qualification bid to the 2016 NCAA Championships after going 2-2 on day one of the Big Ten Championships Saturday. The Big Ten was allocated nine automatic qualifier spots in the 133-pound weight class, and Alexander can finish no lower than eighth after securing a pair of victories in the first two sessions.


The Pittsburgh, Pa. native picked up a win in his opening round match vs. No. 13 Alonzo Shepherd (Indiana), beating the Hoosier for the second time this year by major decision, 9-0. Alexander then met Nebraska’s No. 5 seed Eric Montoya in the quarterfinals, where he fell 6-3 to move to session 2 of wrestle-backs.


Alexander got back in the win column with a 6-0 decision over Luke Welch (Purdue) in the second round of the consolation ladder. He was then on the wrong end of a 6-0 decision, dropping to 10th-seeded Anthony Giraldo in the third round of wrestlebacks. Regardless, Alexander has guaranteed himself a spot in the NCAA Championships, as he moves on to wrestle No. 7 seed Johnni Dijulius (Ohio State) in the seventh place match tomorrow. Session 3 at Hawkeye-Carver Arena is scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm (ET)/12:00 pm (CT).


Freshman Brendan Burnham (165) picked up his first career Big Ten Tournament win in wrestlebacks, notching a 5-2 decision over Michigan State’s Dean Vettese. It was Burnham’s second win of the season over the Spartan, after he dropped his second bout of the day to Steven Rodrigues (Illinois) in the opening round of the championship. Burnham’s run came to an end against No. 5 Chad Walsh (Purdue).


Redshirt freshman Alfred Bannister (141) had the momentum in the second period of his opening match vs. No. 4 seed Jameson Oster (Northwestern) leading by as much as 5-1. Oster climbed back into it with a reversal and near fall in the second, before scoring four more unanswered points in the third for a 9-5 decision. Bannister secured his first career Big Ten Tournament win in round one of the consolation, taking down Tommy Cash (Indiana) 4-2 to advance.


Redshirt senior Josh Snook (174) bounced back from an opening round defeat to No. 5 seed Nate Jackson (Indiana) s. with a win over Shane Shadaia (Michigan State) in his first consolation match. A pair of second period takedowns proved to be the difference, as Snook notched his second career Big Ten Tournament win by decision, 5-1.


Snook was pinned in his ensuing consolation match, but still had a shot at the Big Ten’s final qualification allocation in the ninth place bout against Nick Wanzek (Minnesota). Snook hung tough against the No. 7 seed, and appeared to have forced overtime with the match tied at one in the third. But a coach’s challenge was reversed in favor of the Golden Gophers, and Wanzek ultimately came out ahead 5-2.


After an opening round defeat to No. 3 seed Sam Stoll, freshman Youssif Hemida (285) kept his day alive with an overtime consolation victory over Tyler Kral (Purdue). Trailing 4-3 in the third period, Hemida came through with a takedown in the final minute to get ahead 5-4, before an escape from Kral forced overtime. It appeared as though the Boilermaker had the upper hand at the start of sudden victory, as he got a hold of Hemida’s leg. The Mamaroneck, NY native found a way out, then quickly countered with a shot get the two points and his first career Big Ten Tournament victory.


Senior Mark Colabucci (184) and redshirt freshman Garrett Wesneski (197) both had another shot during session 2 after opening round losses and first round consolation byes. Colabucci got behind early, and couldn’t overcome the deficit as his season came to an end vs. No. 8 seed Ryan Christensen (Wisconsin). Wesneski kept both of his matches close, but ultimately had his tournament ended at the hands of No. 6 seed Mark Martin (Ohio State).


Redshirt freshman Michael Beck (125), freshman Wade Hodges (149) and redshirt senior Lou Mascola (157) saw early exists after consecutive session 1 defeats. Beck surrendered a technical fall (16-0) to No. 4 seed Tim Lambert (Nebraska) in his opening match, before getting ousted in the first round of consolation to Steven Polakowski by major decision.


Hodges dropped a decision to No. 8 seed Jake Short in the first Championship round, before getting pinned by Kyle Langenderfer (Illinois) in his consolation match. Mascola met the same fate, dropping a pair of decisions to Brandon Kingsley (Minnesota) and Doug Welch (Purdue) in his two matches. Mascola will still be a candidate for an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships.

BASEBALL USES THREE-RUN FIRST TO BEAT GEORGE WASHINGTON, 4-1
Courtesy Monmouth Sports Information
Sat, March 12, 2016
WASHINGTON, DC– Monmouth University’s baseball team scored three runs in the first inning and got a quality outing from senior left-hander Anthony Ciavarella (Phillipsburg, NJ/Phillipsburg) to top George Washington on the road, 4-1 Sunday. MU improves to 4-8 with the victory while GW drops to 5-9."We bounced back today in a tough fashion," said head coach Dean Ehehalt. "Anthony Ciavarella and Joe Molettiere really gave us the boost we needed on the mound. Both guys pitched out of jams and made great pitches when needed."

MU came out of the gates with four base hits in a row from Grant Lamberton (Newark, DE/Salesianum), Shaine Hughes (Sewell, NJ/Washington Township), Dan Shea (Wilmington, DE/Salesianum), and Chris Gaetano (Madison Township, PA/Scranton Preparatory) with Shea plating the games first run and Gaetano bringing one around as well. Monmouth tacked on a third run when Ryan Bailey (Mount Kisco, NY/Fox Lane) grounded into a double play, and the Hawks exited the top of the first up 3-0.

Lamberton helped manufacture a second inning run after his second hit, swiping second and scoring on Hughes’ second hit of the day to make it 4-0 Monmouth. Matt Cosentino singled home a run in the third for the Colonials to cut it to 4-1, the only run of the afternoon for the home team.

Ciavarella delivered six innings and allowed a run on seven hits with four strikeouts to earn the win. Freshman Joe Molettiere (Sellersville, PA/Pennridge) tossed three shutout innings out of the bullpen to pick up his first career save, allowing four hits and fanning three. Hughes and Lamberton had two hits apiece for MU.

Robbie Metz took the loss for the Colonials, allowing four runs on six hits through two innings. Shane Sweeney delivered seven scoreless innings out of the bullpen, surrendering just a hit and a walk with five strikeouts. Joey Bartosic and Cosentino each added a pair of hits.

The teams wrap up their three-game series with a rubber game tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Five different players scored, including two from Dan Bloodgood (Jackson, NJ/Freehold Township), Bryce Wasserman (Southlake, TX/Grapevine Faith) and Eamon Campbell (Massapequa, NY/St. Anthony's), but the Monmouth University men’s lacrosse team fell to visiting Saint Joseph’s, 18-8, Saturday afternoon at Monmouth Stadium. With the loss, MU falls to 3-2 on the year, while the visiting Hawks improve to 4-2 on the season.

SJU scored the opening goal 2:07 into the affair on the first of four Mike Rastivo goals. MU responded less than four minutes later when Hunter Jones (Abington, PA/Abington Senior) connected with Bloodgood for the extra-man marker to knot the score at 1-1. St. Joe’s rattled off the next 10 goals before Chris Daly registered an unassisted tally with a minute left in the half.

After Saint Joseph’s scored the first two goals of the second half, Wasserman netted two goals of his own to make the score 13-4. Following a marker from SJU’s Kevin Foster, Gordon Phillips (Port Coquittam, BC/Trinity Pawling [NY]) got onto the scoresheet for the Blue and White, recording his first goal of the year off a feed from Connor Vanderbeek (Bridgewater, NJ/Immaculata [High Point]). Daly followed suit, capitalizing on a man-up opportunity off a pass from Bloodgood with 2:36 left in the quarter. SJU notched the final goal of the third and stuck again 41 seconds into the final stanza to push its lead to 10. The two sides exchanged goals over the final five minutes with Campbell scoring his second and third goals of the year with the latter coming off a dish from Griffin Figel (Basking Ridge, NJ/Bridgewater-Raritan).

Nick Hreshko (Warrington, PA/La Salle College H.S.) made eight saves for Monmouth in the loss, while Grant Gillan (Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen) turned away a shot in a full quarter of action. T.J. Jones recorded four saves en route to the victory for the visiting Hawks.

Monmouth, which wrapped up a three-game homestand, will travel to Lexington, VA to take on VMI on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.

College Softball – Rebel Spring Games

Bucknell University 8, Rider University 1

KISSIMMEE, Fla.—The Rider University softball team was swept by Bucknell University in a doubleheader at the Rebel Spring Games Tuesday afternoon.

The Bison won 1-0 in the opener and 8-1 in the nightcap.

“The second game, we fell flat,” said head coach Jaci Timko. “We were pressing in our at-bats and we fell short on defense late in the game.”

In game two, Rider (1-12) took a 1-0, first inning lead on a one-out RBI double to left field by senior Dana Sensi (Allentown). That hit scored junior Josettee Spencer (Hillsborough) who had reached on a single down the left field line.

Sensi had two of Rider’s seven hits in game two.

Bucknell took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning on three hits, including an RBI double and added a sacrifice bunt and RBI ground out off of Bronc reliever, sophomore Kaitlyn Kallert (Woodland Park/Passaic Valley). Kallert allowed eight runs, four earned in four innings of work, while scattering six hits.

The Bison used an RBI double and a run-scoring single, all with two outs in the fifth inning to take a 4-1 lead.

Bucknell (13-7) put the game out of reach, taking advantage of three Rider errors in the bottom of the sixth inning and the Bison capped off the frame with a two-out, two-run home run to left center field for the final score.

Rider starter, junior Megan Ailand (Burlingame, Calif./Burlingame) went the first three innings for the Broncs, allowing only two hits and no runs, leaving the game with a 1-0 lead.

Also for Rider in game two, freshman Kiera Swank (Bear, Del./Caravel Academy) had a double.

In the opener, despite a complete game four-hitter from junior Delany DeMello (Roseville, Calif./Roseville) Rider lost 1-0 after being held to one hit.

“The opening game was a mirror of the game yesterday except it didn’t go our way,” Timko said. “Delany pitched great but we just couldn’t get her any runs.”

Bucknell scored in the first inning on a two-out single to left field.

Rider’s only hit was a bunt single in the bottom of the first inning by Spencer. Spencer had two of Rider’s eight hits in the doubleheader.

Amanda Fazio threw a complete game for the Bison, recording 11 strikeouts to pick up her sixth win of the season.

Rider defeated Bucknell 1-0 on Monday behind five shutout innings from DeMello who gave up no hits and only one walk in 16 batters.

After an off day Wednesday, Rider returns to action against Albany and Indiana State on Thursday, the final day of the Rebel Games.

Seventh-Inning Rally Falls Short for Rutgers Softball in Big Ten Opener

Scarlet Knights fall to Penn State 12-8


PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 25, 2016) – Despite a five-run rally in the bottom of the seventh, Rutgers softball fell short against Penn State, 12-8, in its conference opener on Friday at the RU softball complex.


After RU erased a 6-0 deficit with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, PSU extended its lead to 12-3 by the top of the seventh. The Scarlet Knights registered five runs on six hits in the bottom of the frame before their rally was cut short. Rutgers dropped to an overall record of 15-17 and a Big Ten mark of 0-1, while Penn State improved to 12-14 overall and 1-0 in conference play.


Four different Scarlet Knights posted two hits in the contest, led by junior Bridget Carr (Pequannock, N.J.) with a 2-for-2 performance at the plate. Sophomore Sierra Maddox (Kennesaw, Ga.) registered a three-run home run in the seventh, marking her third homer of the year.Four Nittany Lions posted home runs in the win, including Macy Jones, Alyssa VanDerveer, Shelby Miller and Shannon Good. Miller also contributed a team-high three RBIs on two hits.
Penn State opened the contest with a 1-0 lead on a home run from leadoff hitter Macy Jones. After the Nittany Lions added another run on two more hits, senior Dresden Maddox (Kennesaw, Ga.) took over work in the circle. Maddox retired the first two batters she faced, closing the top of the frame with a strikeout.Despite a two-out double for sophomore Rebecca Hall (Fairfax, Va.) in the bottom of the first, Rutgers was unable to cut into the 2-0 deficit.In the top of the second, the Nittany Lions added a two-out, three-run homer from Miller to extend their advantage to 5-0. After a scoreless third inning for either side, PSU continued to push its lead to 6-0, as Jones stole home in the top of the fourth.Following back-to-back walks for senior Melanie Slowinski (Severn, Md.) and Carr, senior Elizabeth Adams (Crystal Lake, Ill.) registered a sacrifice bunt to move the runners to third and second, respectively. Classmate Jordan Whitley (Clayton, Del.) drew RU’s third walk of the frame to load the bases.

Junior Carly Todd (Deptford, N.J.) then drew a walk of her own to send Slowinski home, cutting into the deficit, 6-1. Senior Stephanie Huang(Paramus, N.J.) then knocked a double to center field, sending two runs in to make it a three-run game at 6-3.


Although PSU responded by extending its edge to 7-3 with a run on two hits, junior Shayla Sweeney (Barrington, N.J.) entered the circle and struck out two consecutive batters to end the top of the fifth.



Despite a leadoff single for Slowinski and a two-out single for Adams, both were left on in the bottom of the fifth.


In the top of the sixth, a solo shot for Good set the margin at 8-3. Rutgers countered with hits from Todd and Anico in the latter half of the frame, but no RU runs would cross.


Penn State pushed its lead to 12-3 in the top of the seventh on three hits and two errors.


However, Rutgers never let up and countered with five runs on six hits in the bottom of the frame. After back-to-back hits for Slowinski and Carr, Adams loaded the bases with a walk. Whitley then sent two runs in with a double to center field.

Sierra Maddox kept the rally rolling with a three-run home run to bring the margin to 12-8. Despite two more hits for freshman Nicolette Anico (Liberty County, Fla.) and Hall, the RU rally fell short.

RU and PSU meet for the middle game of the series on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.

LAWRENCEVILLE—The Rider University softball team was swept in a non-conference doubleheader against the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon at Herb and Joan Young Field.

Penn (11-7) won the opener 5-0 with a complete game one-hitter and the Quakers used a nine-run fifth inning to turn a 4-3 deficit into a 12-4 mercy rule victory.

In the opener, Penn used three walks and a sacrifice fly in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead.

In the third inning, the Quakers took advantage of a dropped fly ball and an RBI double, all with two outs to push the Bronc deficit to 2-0.

Rider (3-18) committed five errors in the game and had 11 errors in the doubleheader.

Penn hit a two-run home run and added an RBI double in the top of the seventh inning for the final score.

Alexis Sargent retired the first 10 Rider batters in a row before Toni Nino reached on a wild pitch after a strikeout.

Sargent had her no-hitter broken up in the bottom of the seventh inning when with two outs, senior Kim Valdes (Jupiter’s Fla./King’s Academy) hit a pop-up over the pitcher’s mound and all four infielders watched the play before the Quaker first baseman made an unsuccessful late dive. Valdes now has 96 career hits.

“We don’t make it easy,” said head coach Jaci Timko. “Offensively, we are thinking way too hard and are looking for reasons to stop our swing instead of being aggressive. You saw the way Penn played, they had an approach at the plate and were aggressive. We looked at way too many pitches and then had to battle to foul off pitches with two strikes.”

Sargent finished with 14 strikeouts.

Rider’s Megan Ailand (Burlingame, Calif./Burlingame) threw a complete game, recording one strikeout while scattering eight hits and allowing three earned runs.

In the second game, trailing 2-0, senior Montana Berg (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista) hit a home run to left center field to get the Broncs within one run in the bottom of the second inning and later that inning, sophomore Toni Nino (Adelanto, Calif./Silverado) hit an RBI single, scoring junior Morgan Benedetti (Ewing) who reached on a single, tying the game 2-2.

Trailing 3-2, Rider took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when freshman Kiera Swank (Bear, Del./Caravel Academy) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Nino scored on a wild pitch, also with the bases loaded.

Nino had three of Rider’s nine hits in the doubleheader.

Penn sent 14 batters to the plate in the fifth inning and had 10 of its 12 hits in the game, including two home runs in the same inning by Leah Allen to turn the one-run deficit into an eight run lead.

“One bad inning,” Timko said. “We made some mistakes. I think we relaxed a little bit when we took the lead and we need to work on keeping that aggressive mind set for all seven innings.”

Rider hosts Princeton University in a single game on Wednesday at 4pm.

LSU enters the game riding a four-game win streak, including a three-game SEC series sweep at Missouri last weekend. The Tigers have a 9-6 conference mark and are two games behind Florida and South Carolina, and one game behind Texas A&M in the league standings.


“We played about as well as we can play last weekend at Missouri,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “What we must do now is continue to play at that same level, and that will be a tremendous challenge against an outstanding Southeastern Louisiana team. They have a lot of talented players, and they’re having a great year. We only have 20 games remaining in the regular season, so this is the time of year where we have to be at our best in every game.”


Mainieri said that sophomore right-hander Doug Norman (0-0, 3.38 ERA) will make his first start of the season Wednesday against Southeastern. Norman made three starts last season, including a no-decision outing against SLU in a 9-8 LSU victory.


LSU batted .342 in the Missouri series (40-for-117) with three doubles, one triple, five homers and six stolen bases. All three LSU starting pitchers worked six innings, the bullpen earned two three-inning saves and the Tigers did not commit an error in the series.


Sophomore DH/catcher Bryce Jordan helped lead LSU to four wins in five games last week, batting .467 (7-for-15) with one double, two homers, nine RBI, six runs, a .933 slugging percentage and a .600 on-base percentage. Jordan batted .400 (4-for-10) in LSU’s three-game sweep at Missouri with two homers, eight RBI and three runs scored. His three-run homer in the fifth inning on Friday night against Missouri starter Reggie McClain highlighted a five-run inning as LSU erased a 2-1 deficit and went on to post a 7-5 victory.


Jordan is batting .312 on the year with four doubles, three homers and 20 RBI. He has a .455 on-base percentage and has been hit by a pitch on 15 occasions already this season. Junior centerfielder Jake Fraley hit .467 (7-for-15) in the Missouri series with one double, one RBI and three runs. Junior shortstop Kramer Robertson batted .462 (6-for-13) against Missouri with one double, two RBI and seven runs scored.


Southeastern Louisiana is hitting .289 as a team on the year with 32 homers and 68 steals in 97 attempts. The Lions are led at the plate by junior catcher/infielder Jameson Fisher, who is batting .462 with seven doubles, one triple, nine homers and 41 RBI. Junior infielder Carson Crites is batting .322 with eight doubles, one triple, five homers and 21 RBI, and freshman infielder Brennan Breaud is batting .310 with five doubles, one triple, one homer and 18 RBI.


LSU leads Southeastern Louisiana, 66-17, in a series that began in 1937. The Tigers defeated SLU on February 26 of last season, 9-8, in Baton Rouge.

LSU has won 20 of the last 21 meetings between the schools -- SLU’s win in that stretch came in 2008, a 6-3 victory over the Tigers in the original Alex Box Stadium. LSU has a 39-3 mark against Southeastern Louisiana since 1990.
