SUBJECT: Delaware’s Winning Streak Snapped With 71-58 Loss at Charleston


DATE: January 12, 2019


CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston jumped out to a big early lead and Delaware never got on track offensively as the Blue Hens dropped a 71-58 decision to the Cougars Saturday afternoon at TD Arena.


Ryan Allen scored a season-high 23 points for Delaware (12-7, 4-2 CAA), while Eric Carter added 11 points and seven rebounds. Kevin Anderson also finished with 11 points, while Ithiel Horton contributed 10 points of his own.


The Blue Hens, who had a four-game winning streak snapped, shot just 35.8 percent from the field, including 5 of 27 from three-point range. Delaware did finish 15 of 17 from the foul line, but committed 14 turnovers on the day.


Grant Riller paced Charleston (14-4, 3-2 CAA) with 21 points, while Jarrell Brantley added a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.


Charleston hit nine of its first 10 shots from the field, jumping out to a 21-7 lead at the 13:45 mark of the first half. A deep three-pointer by Horton cut the margin to 23-15, but the Cougars answered with seven consecutive points to go up 30-15 with 5:48 left in the half.


Charleston was still up 14 two minutes later, but Anderson scored on a driving layup and then hit a jumper to bring the Blue Hens within 34-24 at the break.


Darian Bryant opened the second half with a three-pointer, and Delaware was still within seven at 38-31 following a Carter dunk with 15:55 to play. Allen converted a layup to make it a 49-40 game at the 9:13 mark, but Charleston answered with an 11-2 run over the next four minutes to put the game away.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“Give credit to Charleston, they were really good today. I’m happy with how we battled; we got off to a great start in the second half, but just needed to make some open shots. We tried to go small and get some steals late, but just missed too many shots. Brantley and Riller are good, experienced players, and Charleston really guarded us well.”


Game Notes:

• Carter surpassed the 900-point and 700-rebound marks, and now ranks 10th in UD history with 703 rebounds

• Allen and Carter each scored in double figures for the fifth game in a row

• Allen recorded the seventh 20-point game of his career

• Delaware went 28 of 31 from the free throw line during the road trip

• Charleston defeated Delaware for the sixth straight meeting, and has won the last four matchups at TD Arena

Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball Rolls to 85-58 Triumph Over Caldwell


Goldey-Beacom went on a huge burst midway through the second half and posted its seventh victory in the last nine outings with an 85-58 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Caldwell at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


The Lightning in the first half owned a 38-25 lead by shooting 45 percent from the floor and forcing the Cougars into 11 turnovers. Senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted 10 points in that time for Goldey-Beacom, which got 16 points from its bench compared to only one for Caldwell.


GBC (8-7, 6-1 CACC) held a 59-43 lead with 11 minutes left and was looking to put away things. It did so in a big way, courtesy of an 18-3 run over the next 4 1/2 minutes to open its biggest lead at 77-46 with 6:23 remaining. Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) and sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) led the balanced attack with four points in a run which six different players scored.


Livingston once again had a solid outing, pouring in 19 points to go with three 3-pointers over a game-high 36 minutes. Johnson netted 16 points, Taite had 14 and nine rebounds, Tevin Service (Union, NJ) scored 10 points with fellow sophomore Kyle Elliot (Rahway, NJ) and freshman Jack Gjeding (Holbaek, Denmark) adding nine apiece.


GBC shot 50 percent (14-of-28) from the floor in the second half, 48 percent (28-of-59) overall and forced 18 turnovers for its sixth victory over Caldwell in the last nine meetings.


Another key for the Lightning was the 3-pointer, 13 of them to mark the fourth time this season they have reached that. The season high of 16 occurred December 8 at Wilmington (DE).


Ahmad Harrison poured in 13 points, Vaughn Covington netted 10 points and Ned Ogoemesim added seven for Caldwell (7-9, 3-4), which could not overcome shooting just 39 percent (10-of-26) from the field in the first half.


Goldey-Beacom next Wednesday steps out of CACC play to host West Chester for a 7:00 pm contest.



Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball Notches 77-72 Triumph Over Caldwell


Goldey-Beacom saw four players score in double figures as the team notched its third victory in the last four contests, a 77-72 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Caldwell at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


In a contest that basically was played at a standstill most of the way, Goldey-Beacom scored 16 straight points bridging the third and fourth periods for a 64-53 lead with 5:51 remaining. Junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) scored eight points in that time for the Lightning, who shot 6-of-8 from the floor and held the Cougars to 0-of-6.


GBC held a 67-58 cushion with 4:28 remaining before Caldwell scored six straight to get within three. Tina Lebron ended the run on a layup with 3:06 to go.


The Lightning needed a big bucket and got it with 2:24 remaining when freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) canned a 3-pointer for a 70-64 margin. Lebron again made it a three-point game by hitting her own triple with 2:09 left.


But GBC finally put away things on McGrogan’s layup with 1:48 to go and freshman Alexis Harrison (Millville, NJ) following suit with 67 seconds remaining for a 74-67 cushion, ending its five-game skid in the series.


McGrogan scored 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting with four 3-pointers and four assists, giving her 18.0 points per game over her last eight contests. Round netted 20 points, Harrison poured in 16 on 7-of-10 shooting along with sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE/St. Elizabeth’s) adding 12 and eight rebounds.


Senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) also had two steals, moving her into a tie for eighth place in team history at 120 with Natasha Scott (2004-08).


The Lightning (8-8, 4-3 CACC) also forced 20 turnovers, making it seven of the last 11 contests they have induced their opponents into at least 19.


Andie Lennon netted 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting, Lebron scored 18 and Alessia Smaldone added 17 for the Cougars (3-11, 3-4), who shot 53 percent (30-of-57) from the field but only went 2-for-3 from the line.


Goldey-Beacom does not play again until next Saturday, when it visits Bloomfield for a 1:00 pm game in Bloomfield, NJ.

SUBJECT: Allen, Carter Lead Blue Hens To 76-69 Home Win Over James Madison


DATE: January 17, 2019


NEWARK, Del. – Ryan Allen scored a career-high 29 points while Eric Carter added 26 points and nine rebounds as the Delaware men’s team led wire to wire for a 76-69 victory over James Madison Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.


Delaware (13-7, 5-2 CAA), which won its third straight home game, shot 56.0 percent from the field, knocked down 8 of 16 three-point attempts, and finished 12 of 14 from the foul line.


Allen hit five triples, went a perfect 6 of 6 from the stripe, and handed out four assists without a turnover while recording his second straight 20-point effort. Carter was 11 of 14 from the field, while Darian Bryant and Ithiel Horton added seven points apiece.


Stuckey Mosley paced James Madison (9-10, 2-4 CAA) with 22 points, all in the second half. The Dukes shot 43.3 percent from the floor, including 8 of 21 from behind the arc.


Delaware, which hit 10 of its first 12 shots from the field, exploded for an 18-4 lead less than six minutes into the game. The Blue Hens led by at least eight points the rest of the half, while Carter scored inside during the final minute to give Delaware a 41-29 cushion at the break.


The Blue Hens led 68-59 following an Allen fadeaway jumper with 4:08 to play, but JMU reeled off six consecutive points to make it a three-point game with two and a half minutes to play.


The teams went scoreless for nearly two minutes before Bryant converted a clutch left-handed layup with 43 seconds remaining, and Delaware hit all six of its free throw attempts from there to put the game away.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“I’m happy with how we handled the late game situations. JMU is a really good basketball team, but our resiliency when they made a run was big. We had game pressure on us, and I thought for the most part we did a good job of handling the basketball, not turning it over and getting stops when we needed to. Ryan and Eric really carried us on the offensive end tonight. We have a group that thinks for me, and they’re starting to gel together.


“For us, we preach unselfishness. We want to go inside first; Eric was fabulous tonight and we worked to get him the basketball. For the first 10 to 12 minutes we got great shots. I’m really proud of our defense. The zone was good to us, holding a talented offensive team to 29 points in the first half.”


Eric Carter

“We’ve really got to protect our home court, and that’s what Coach preaches. We’ve got to stay hungry, and use next Thursday’s off day to relax and recharge a little bit to focus for the second half. In the beginning of the game our guards did a great job of getting me the ball in deep seals, and Coach says when I get the ball to be aggressive. When they double, our guards can really hit shots this year.”


Game Notes:

• Delaware is 3-0 in CAA home games this year

• UD has started 5-2 or better in CAA play for the third time since joining the league

• The Blue Hens defeated JMU for the fifth straight meeting

Sat, January 19, 2019
Daytona Beach, Fla. (Jan. 19, 2019) --- Delaware State’s bid for its first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win of the season went down in a hail of missed shots, resulting in a 69-49 men’s basketball loss to Bethune-Cookman at Moore Gymnasium today.

The Hornets (3-13; 0-5 MEAC) connected on just 19 of their 74 shots from the field (25.7%), including five-of-26 on three-point attempts (19.2%). The overall shooting percentage was DSU’s second-lowest of the season, while the three-point percentage marked a season low.

Bethune-Cookman (7-11; 2-3 MEAC) shot 43.9% overall for the game (29-for-66), including 57.1% in the second half (16-for-28). The Wildcats outscored the Hornets 39-25 in the final 20 minutes.

Soufiyane Diakite recorded a double-double to lead BCU, scoring a game-high 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Mark Gordon added 18 points, highlighted by three three-point field goals, while Cletrell Pope contributed eight points and 10 rebounds to the Wildcat win.

Kevin Larkin was high scorer for Delaware State with 16 points, while Jonathan Mitchell came off the bench to add 10 points (3-for-5 3pt FGs) for the Hornets.

D’Marco Baucum and Ameer Bennett led DSU with eight rebounds each.

The Hornets pulled even at 20-20 after a lay-up by Larkin before Bethune-Cookman began to pull away.

The Wildcats responded with a 10-0 run, and opened up a 30-20 lead on a three-pointer by Shawntrez Davis with 1:54 left in the first half.

The Hornets scored the last four points of the half to pull to within 30-24 at the break.

Bethune-Cookman ran off eight straight points early in the second half to regain a double-digit lead. The Wildcats led 40-28 after a dunk by Pope with 14:24 left to play.

Delaware State answered with a 10-4 run, and cut the Wildcats’ lead to 44-38 on a Larkin lay-up at the 9:59 mark of the second half.

Bethune-Cookman scored the next nine points to open up a 15-point lead. The Wildcats held their biggest advantage, 69-44, on a free throw with a minute to go in the game.

BCU held a 50-46 rebound edge, while each team committed 13 turnovers.

The Hornets will wrap up a two-game Sunshine State swing with a visit to Florida A&M on Monday (Jan. 21). The Martin Luther King National Holiday contest is set for 4:00 p.m., following the DSU / FAMU women’s contest in Tallahassee, Fla.

SUBJECT: Delaware Drops 64-63 Heartbreaker to Towson


DATE: January 19, 2019


NEWARK, Del. – Towson rallied back from an 18-point deficit to edge Delaware, 64-63, in a heartbreaker Saturday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.


The Blue Hens (13-8, 5-3 CAA) led 37-19 with 1:25 left in the first half, but Towson (6-14, 2-5 CAA) scored the final three points of the period and opened the second half with an 11-1 run to pull within 38-33 at the 15:20 mark.


Delaware extended the margin back to nine at 47-38, but Towson battled back and took its first lead of the night at 54-53 with 6:19 on the clock. The Blue Hens quickly responded with six consecutive points, while an Eric Carter layup at the 1:44 mark gave UD a 63-61 advantage.


However Towson’s Brian Fobbs was fouled and hit one free throw, and after he missed the second the Tigers grabbed the board before Alex Thomas hit the game-winning jumper with 22 seconds on the clock.


Ryan Allen then missed in the paint, but he was fouled after grabbing the rebound and attempting a putback. However Allen misfired on both free throws as Towson hung on for the win.


Carter finished with team-highs of 14 points and eight rebounds for the Blue Hens, while Allen and Darian Bryant added 13 points apiece.


After Towson opened the scoring with a three-pointer, Delaware scored the next 14 points to take control. A Bryant fastbreak layup made it 25-10 midway through the half, and the Blue Hens eventually went up 18 before the Tigers' comeback.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“I thought we weren’t very good defensively in the second half. They scored 42 points, shot almost 70 percent from the field and 60 percent from the three-point line. We didn’t dig in like we needed to. That’s a team that likes to grind you up, and we knew it was going to be a physical game. We’ve got to play for 40 minutes. We had a great first half – we were efficient, shared the basketball and scored 37 points. We just couldn’t get into a rhythm in the second half. Credit Towson, they really guarded us in the second half. It was a dogfight, and we just didn’t do enough on the defensive end to get out of there with a win.”


Darian Bryant

“We have to compete for 40 minutes. We couldn’t ask for a better first half, but in the second half we came out lackadaisical and they jumped on us early. We weren’t able to control their runs, and got away from ourselves offensively. It’s a tough one to swallow because our mindset was to stay on their neck, and we couldn’t do that tonight.”


Game Notes:

• Delaware committed just two turnovers on the night

• Carter now has 949 points, moving into 39th place in school history

• Bryant’s 13 points are his second most of the year

• Delaware held the lead for 36:38

• UD had a three-game home winning streak snapped

• Towson defeated the Blue Hens for the seventh straight meeting

Marcellus Livingston’s Heroics Not Enough For Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball in 98-89 Loss at Bloomfield


Sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) played arguably his finest game for Goldey-Beacom by pouring in a career-high 33 points, but it was not enough for his squad in a 98-89 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss at Bloomfield in Bloomfield, NJ.


Livingston in the first half went off for 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, but Goldey-Beacom found itself in a 44-34 hole despite shooting 41 percent (14-of-34) from the floor. Kaivone Green poured in 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting for the Bears.


GBC got itself back in the game by scoring 11 consecutive points over two minutes, closing to 84-75 with 6:15 remaining. Livingston netted five in that time, ending it on a layup.


But Bloomfield then went on a 10-5 run that all but ended things, opening a 94-80 cushion with 3:13 to go. Green netted five points in that time and Dontay Julius ended it with a 3-pointer.


Livingston shot 12-of-22 from the floor to best his career high of 30 points from December 16, 2017 against Adelphi. He also canned five 3-pointers and hauled in eight rebounds over a team-best 37 minutes.


Livingston is averaging 18.4 points over his last five games and has scored in double figures 13 times this season.


Sophomore Tevin Service (Union, NJ) poured in 19 points and senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) added 17 for the Lightning (8-9, 6-2 CACC), who shot 53 percent (20-of-38) from the floor in the second half and 47 percent (34-of-72) overall.


Green netted 29 points on 12-of-17 shooting with four 3-pointers and Rich Chapman added 17 points for the Bears (9-8, 7-1), who shot a blistering 69 percent (22-of-32) from the field in the second half and 58 percent (39-of-67) overall.


Goldey-Beacom next Tuesday also is on the road, this time against University of the Sciences. Tipoff in Philadelphia is 7:30 pm, following the 5:30 pm contest between the same schools.

UBJECT: Men’s Basketball Needs Overtime But Slides Past Post With Second Highest Scoring Effort, 100-94

DATE: January 26, 2019
djl

WATERBURY, Conn. - - For only the second time in the Wilmington University men’s basketball NCAA era, the Wildcats posted 100 points, needing all of them in a 100-94 overtime road victory in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference contest at Post inside the Drubner Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Wildcats (9-9, 6-3 CACC) evened their record to .500 on the season by shooting 47.3 percent from the floor, 10-of-23 (43.5%) from beyond the arc, and getting to the foul line 31 times, going 20-of-31 (64.5%) for the game. The Eagles (6-13, 3-7 CACC) went 14-of-53 from three-point territory and just 4-of-5 from the foul line.

Post got off to a hot start in the game, taking as large as a 12-point lead midway through the half. Trailing 30-18 with 8:30 left in the half, the Wildcats outscored the Eagles, 22-15, to get to within 45-40 at the break.

The start of the second half was all Wilmington, as Jermaine Head started the stanza off with a layup and Thomas Farrior added two from the foul line. Jordan Harding tied the contest, 50-50, with 16:16 showing on the clock. Danny Walsh and Harding hit back-to-back three-pointer to take a 58-55 lead before Jermaine Head and Farrior gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the afternoon, 62-55, with back-to-back layups with 13:57 left in regulation.

An old-fashioned three-point play by Head put the Wildcats up 81-77 with 6:09 left, but the Eagles hung tough and eventually tied the match, 84-84, with 4:31 to play. Three Wilmington free throws allowed the Wildcats to regain the lead, but a 5-0 Eagle run pushed the home team ahead, 89-87 with 1:37 remaining.

Xavier Alston beat his man and laid it home with the left hand to tie the score, 89-89, under a minute to play, but missed the and-one opportunity at the line. The Eagles missed their ensuing shot, but Jermaine Head couldn’t hit the runner with five seconds left. Post had a man down court, but he missed his rushed shot at the buzzer, sending the game to overtime.

An Eagles’ three-pointer gave the home team a 92-91 lead early in the extra period, but Jordan Harding came right back with a layup. Thomas Farrior gave the Wildcats a 95-92 lead with a jumper and Alston again put the Wildcats up three with a layup, 97-94, with 58 seconds left. Jermaine Head and Alston each went 1-of-2 from the line while Post kept missing at their end of the floor. Jordan Harding put the Wildcats over the century mark with a free throw, capping the scoring,100-94.

Thomas Farrior led the Wildcats with 31 points, shooting 11-of-26 from the floor and 9-of-11 from the foul line. Jermaine Head finished with a double-double, scoring 25 points while adding 10 rebounds. Jordan Harding also finished with a double-double, scoring 23 points while hitting five three-pointers and grabbing a game-high 14 rebounds. Danny Walsh hit three three-pointers for nine points.

SUBJECT: Blue Hens Hang on For 76-75 Victory Over Drexel


DATE: January 26, 2019


NEWARK, Del. – Delaware used a strong field goal percentage to build a double digit lead and held off a Drexel charge down the stretch to edge the Dragons, 76-75, Saturday afternoon the Bob Carpenter Center.


The Blue Hens (14-8, 6-3 CAA) shot 55.8 percent from the field, including 11 of 21 from three-point range, and never trailed during the game. Ryan Allen poured in 26 points on 10 of 16 shooting from the floor, while Ithiel Horton added 19 points and Kevin Anderson chipped in with 16 of his own. Eric Carter contributed six points and a game-high 13 rebounds for the Blue Hens as well.


All five starters reached double figures for the Dragons (10-12, 4-5 CAA), including Troy Harper’s team-high 16 points.


Delaware scored the first eight points of the game, and later used a 10-point spurt to go in front 29-18 with 6:23 left in the opening half. The margin grew to as much as 15, while a Horton three-pointer in the final seconds gave the Blue Hens a 44-33 halftime cushion.


UD led by a comfortable margin for most of the second period, and was up 74-61 with 2:16 remaining after a three-point play by Allen. However the Blue Hens then committed five turnovers, allowing the Dragons to close within 74-72 with 12 seconds to go.


Anderson then hit two free throws, and following a three-pointer by Drexel’s Trevor John, Horton was fouled with two seconds left. He missed the front end of the one-and-one, but after Alihan Demir grabbed the rebound, he was called for travelling and UD inbounded the ball to seal the win.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“Give Drexel credit for making a late run, but we didn’t do a good job of handling the ball. We’re a program that harps on taking care of the basketball, but we were rattled today. We have to be better and more poised in late game situations. We had some uncharacteristic turnovers, and have to learn how to finish games. I’m happy with the win, but we need improvement from our group.”


“We were really efficient offensively in the first half, and Ithiel Horton and Ryan Allen both got into a good groove. I’m happy to be 6-3 in the CAA, but we’ve got to get back to work.”


Ryan Allen

“We’re a better team than what we’ve been showing, and we need to work on end of game situations. We need to stay focused and put two good halves together.”


Game Notes:

• The Blue Hens are 6-3 or better midway through the CAA schedule for just the fourth time

• Delaware defeated Drexel in Newark for the fourth consecutive year

• The Blue Hens shot over 55 percent for the second time in three games

• Anderson’s 16 points are his third highest total of the year

• Allen posted his third 20-point effort of the season

• Delaware committed 21 turnovers after committing just two vs. Towson

SUBJECT: Wildcats Come Back Late But Fall to Post, 78-73

DATE: January 26, 2019
MKR

WATERBURY, Conn. – Trailing by 18 points with four minutes left to play in the game, the Wilmington University women’s basketball team brought it to less than three points in the final seconds, but the Post University Eagles hung on to take the win, 78-73, in a cross-divisional Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference matchup at the Drubner Center Saturday afternoon.

Despite the Wildcats (3-14, 3-6 CACC) shooting 49.2 percent from the floor to the Eagles (8-10, 4-6 CACC) 40 percent, Post went 14-18 from the free throw line in the contest.

With a close game to start, Wilmington was able to take a 14-10 lead with 4:28 to play in the first quarter, but the Wildcats were only able to score one more basket as the Eagles tied the game up 16 apiece to head into the second quarter.

Starting the second quarter, Jadyn Whitsitt was able to bring the game within one with a three-pointer to make it 20-19, but the Eagles answered right back on a 8-0 run with a made layup and two back-to-back threes to take a 26-19 lead. Post then jumped out to an 11-point lead with 3:47 to play in the half with a score of 32-21. The Eagles would maintain the 10-point lead, until hitting a three-pointer to end the half 41-28. The Eagles scored 25 points to the Wildcats 12 in the quarter.

Emily Ansah got the and-one in the paint to secure the three-point play to bring the game within eight of the Eagles’ 46-38 lead with 6:35 to play in the third quarter. That’s how close Wilmington would bring it in the third quarter, despite scoring 20 points ending the quarter down, 56-48.

Neither team would score until 7:02 to play in the fourth quarter as Post knocked down a three pointer to start an 11-2 run in their favor. The Eagles’ largest lead of the game came with 4:32 to play in regulation as the Eagles took an 18-point lead of 68-50, but the Wildcats did not shy away. Macy Robinson was able to start a Wildcats 11-0 run with a trey ball followed by back-to-back layups from Ansah to bring the game within nine as Interim Head Coach Jamie Hensley called a timeout.

Kiara Eubanks would net two free throws and get a layup to bring the Wildcats within six with 1:52 left to play. Having to put the Eagles to the line, Post would regain a 10-point lead with under a minute to play, but the Wildcats were able to score three layups to bring the contest to 74-68 with 17 seconds to go. Eubanks would bring it to within five with 11 seconds to play, before putting the Eagles back to the line, to only make one.

Jadyn Whitsitt was able to get a three off with four seconds left to bring the game within three of the 76-73 Eagles lead, but Post would go to the line and knock down two more free throws and take the game from the Wildcats, 78-73.

Freshman Kiara Eubanks had a team-high for the Wildcats scoring a career-high 21 points after going 10-13 from the floor. Jadyn Whitsitt poured in 15 points, going 6-10 from the floor and 3-4 from behind the arc. Macy Robinson netted three three-pointers in the game for 13 points, as Emily Ansah chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Wildcats’ next game is Wednesday night when they travel to nationally ranked No. 4 Jefferson for a 6:00 p.m. start time.

Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball Gets Critical 68-56 Victory Over vs. Felician


Goldey-Beacom in the fourth quarter put together a mix of offense and defense to walk away with a big 68-56 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Felician at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


In a game which featured 20 lead changes and only three combined bench points, Goldey-Beacom grabbed the final lead with 51 seconds left in the third quarter when senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) canned a 3-pointer.


That began an 18-4 run over the next six minutes to give the Lightning a 64-51 cushion with 5:10 remaining. Turner-Rush netted eight points in that time and freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) added six for GBC, which shot 6-of-13 from the floor.


The Lightning then held the Golden Falcons off the scoreboard the final 4:58, except for an innocuous basket with 1:29 left, to get their seventh straight win in the series.


Junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) closed with 18 points and 10 rebounds for her third double-double of the season, Round poured in 18 points, sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE/St. Elizabeth’s) amassed 12 and eight rebounds, Turner-Rush netted 12 points and freshman Alexis Harrison (Millville, NJ) grabbed a season-best 12 rebounds to go with eight points.


Goldey-Beacom forced 21 turnovers, marking the seventh time in the last 11 contests it has induced at least 19. It also shot a combined 47 percent (16-of-34) from the floor combined over the second and third periods.


Bionca Chambers poured in 19 points before fouling out with Taliyah Brisco adding 17 and nine rebounds for the Golden Falcons (5-11, 5-4 CACC), who shot 33 percent (21-of-64) from the floor and 4-of-16 in the fourth quarter.


GBC (9-10, 5-5) moves into a virtual tie with Holy Family (4-4) for the fourth and final conference-tournament spot in the CACC South Division.


Goldey-Beacom next Wednesday is on the road to visit Chestnut Hill for an 8:00 pm contest. The women’s game between the same schools precedes it at 6:00 pm.




Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball Falls, 85-82, to Felician


Goldey-Beacom grabbed a late lead, but could not keep a firm grip of it in a tough 85-82 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss to Felician at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


Goldey-Beacom was in a deep hole down 71-61 with 6:24 remaining. But it began to climb out with a 17-5 run spanning four minutes to open a 78-76 lead with 2:25 left. Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) continues his monster second half by getting 12 points in that time for the Lightning, who shot 6-of-7 from the field.


Rahsaan Williams hit a layup for Felician with 2:04 to go for a 78-78 tie. But freshman Giovanni Jones (Norfolk, VA) got a layup of his own with 1:31 left to give the Lightning a two-point lead.


Felician had been wreaking havoc in the paint up until that point, but decided on the next possession to work outside the arc. Zamir Wright obliged by canning a huge 3-pointer with 1:13 to go for an 81-80 Golden Falcons lead.


Following an empty possession both ways, GBC got the ball back and it was sophomore Tevin Service (Union, NJ) doing the honors. With the attention on Taite, Service drove the lane and hit a layup with 31 seconds left for an 82-81 Lightning margin.


The Golden Falcons then stayed with their inside game and once again it worked, getting a layup from Williams with 18 seconds remaining for an 83-82 game. GBC then decided to go back to Taite, but he missed from in close and the ball went out in Felician’s favor with 3.3 seconds left.


Wright was fouled with 2.5 seconds to go and hit twice from the stripe for an 85-82 Felician lead. The full-court inbounds pass from GBC went out off of Felician with 0.7 seconds left, but the next try did not work as a 3-pointer from senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) was off line at the buzzer.


Taite ended with 23 points that included 16 in the second half, Johnson overall netted 18, Jones had 15 and 13 rebounds with Service adding 11 points for Goldey-Beacom (8-11, 6-4 CACC), which shot 40 percent (28-of-70) from the floor.


Wright netted 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting, Williams scored 16, Dee-End McRae poured in 14 on 7-of-7 shooting and Jaylen Colon added 13 for Felician, which shot 63 percent (27-for-43) from two-point range and 56 percent (33-of-59) overall. The Golden Falcons (7-9, 5-4) also shot 62 percent (16-of-26) from the field in the second half.

DATE: February 2, 2019

NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University men’s basketball team couldn’t overcome a slow start on Saturday afternoon, falling to Caldwell, 78-67, in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference cross-divisional contest at the WU Athletics Complex.

The Wildcats (9-11, 6-5 CACC) were down by as many as 19 points in the first half but clawed and fought back to bring it to an eight-point game at the half. The Wildcats continued to fight in the second half, closing the gap to as few as four points before Caldwell (11-10, 7-5 CACC) stepped on the gas pedal again and ended the comeback bid.

Caldwell jumped out to an 8-0 lead before the Wildcats could even get on the board with their first bucket at the 16:01 mark of the first half. The visitors continued to lead, 13-2, and took their first 10-point lead with a three-pointer, 20-8, with 9:51 showing on the clock. The Cougars took their largest lead of the game, 27-8, with 7:21 left in the half, as the Wildcats’ offense was sputtering.

The Wildcats started the game 3-for-17 (17.6%) from the floor, including 0-for-3 from three-point territory, when they found themselves down 27-8 with 6:07 on the scoreboard.

But a 6-0 run brought the Wildcats to within 30-19 and they ended the half on another 5-0 run to only head into the halftime break down eight, 32-24.

Down 10 early in the second half, Xavier Alston started a run with a layup followed by buckets from Thomas Farrior and Jermaine Head to get within 45-41 with 14:38 left in regulation, forcing Caldwell into a timeout.

Out of the timeout, the Cougars ran off seven straight to get back out to an 11-point lead. Thomas Farrior and Omari Dill-Pettiford put in layups to cut the deficit to five-points, but that would be as close as the Wildcats would get the rest of the way. Another 8-0 run, including back-to-back three-pointers, put the Cougars up 67-53, with 8:36 to play and the Cougars held a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Jermaine Head led the Wildcats with 20 points on 5-of-9 shooting, adding 10-of-12 from the foul line. Thomas Farrior collected a double-double with 19 point and 11 rebounds while Danny Walsh and Omari Dill-Pettiford scored 10 points each.

The Wildcats were out-rebounded, 50-33, giving up 18-second chance points. They were also outscored in the paint, 36-26. Wilmington led the CACC in three-point shooting as a team coming into Saturday’s matchup, but went 3-for-20 from outside the arc against the Cougars.

The Wildcats remain at home for another contest, as they make up their postponed contest against Dominican on Thursday night. The CACC doubleheader begins with the women at 6:00 p.m., followed by the men’s game at 8:00 p.m.

SUBJECT: Big Second Half Leads William & Mary Past Delaware, 84-63


DATE: February 2, 2019


WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – William & Mary scored 16 of the first 19 points of the second half to pull away for an 84-63 victory over Delaware Saturday afternoon at Kaplan Arena.


Freshman guard Ithiel Horton paced the Blue Hens (14-10, 6-5 CAA) with 14 points, while Ryan Johnson chipped in a season-high 12 and Matt Veretto added 10 off the bench. Delaware shot just 33.9 percent from the field including 4 of 25 from three-point range, but did convert 21 of 24 free throw attempts. The Blue Hens played without senior forward Eric Carter, who missed the game with lower back soreness.


Nathan Knight and Chase Audige led William & Mary (9-14, 5-6 CAA) with 17 points apiece, while Justin Pierce and Matt Milon each added 13 of their own. The Tribe shot 50.9 percent for the game, including 10 of 20 from behind the arc, and held a 47-25 rebounding advantage.


Delaware got off to a solid start, as a three-pointer by Veretto give the Blue Hens a 17-9 edge six minutes into the contest. However the Tribe quickly answered with a 10-2 spurt to pull even three minutes later, and led by as many as eight in the first half before settling for a 37-32 margin at the break.


Kevin Anderson scored early in the second half to bring the Blue Hens within 40-34, but the Tribe countered with a 10-point run to go up 50-34 at the 14:34 mark. William & Mary led by as many as 28 in the second half, while the Blue Hens did not get closer than 19 during the final 10 minutes.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“It was disappointing to not have Eric (Carter) out there after he tweaked his back on Thursday. We have to go home, refocus and regroup. We missed some open shots today, and couldn’t get into an offensive flow. We got off to a good start and felt good going into the half only down five, but really struggled in the second half. We need to continue to work and grind on both ends of the floor.”


Game Notes:

• UD has dropped the last four meetings in Williamsburg

• The Tribe won its second straight following a five-game losing skid

• Delaware held an 18-4 advantage in points off turnovers

• Veretto reached double figures for the first time in a CAA game

• Ryan Allen tied his career-high with five assists

• Horton made a season-best four steals

Taite and Johnson Help Propel Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball to 70-62 Victory at Nyack


Seniors Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) and Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) each put forth solid performances in the second half and Goldey-Beacom garnered control late in a 70-62 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win at Nyack in Nyack, NY.


Goldey-Beacom, which led most of the way, held a 52-50 lead with 9:21 left. That was before the Lightning went on an 11-2 run in just under five minutes, grabbing a 63-52 cushion with 4:28 remaining. Taite scored six points in that time and Johnson added five, each continuing their solid play of late.


GBC held a 33-29 advantage on the scoreboard in the second half and it was two of the seniors who did the damage. Taite scored 11 points in the period on 5-of-10 shooting and Johnson, who played just 12 minutes in the half, poured in nine points on 4-of-8 shooting.


Taite finished with 21 points on 9-of-16 shooting and six rebounds over 40 minutes, giving him a 21.3 points-per-game average over his last three contests. Johnson, one game after netting a career-best 27 points Wednesday at Chestnut Hill, netted 13 points and is averaging 19.2 ppg over his last five contests.


Sophomore Kyle Elliot (Rahway, NJ) closed with 13 points and six rebounds for the Lightning, who shot 46 percent (28-of-61) from the field and induced 22 turnovers. GBC has forced its opponents into at least 18 turnovers in seven of the last eight contests.


Gemall Davis came off the bench to score 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting, Curtis Thompson scored 11 and Jah-Meer McDuffie grabbed 10 rebounds for the Warriors (4-15, 3-8 CACC).


GBC (10-11, 8-4) remains in sole possession of second place in the CACC South Division, one game ahead of Holy Family (6-4). The top two teams in each of the two divisions host a quarterfinal in the conference tournament.


Goldey-Beacom at the half held a 37-33 lead, shooting 48 percent (15-of-31) from the floor and forcing 11 turnovers. Taite scored 10 points, Elliot poured in nine and freshman Giovanni Jones (Norfolk, VA) added eight.


Goldey-Beacom is home Tuesday against Holy Family at 8:00 pm. The doubleheader with the women’s team is part of Mental Health Awareness Night, an initiative supported by the NCAA and the CACC.

NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University women’s basketball team snapped a five-game losing streak on Saturday, defeating Caldwell, 75-70, in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference cross-divisional contest at the WU Athletics Complex.

SUBJECT: Jermaine Head Records 1,000th Career Point but Dominican Pulls Away with 92-83 Win

DATE: February 7, 2019
MKR

NEWARK, Del. – With his final shot of the night, redshirt junior guard Jermaine Head became the fifth player in Wilmington University men’s basketball NCAA era to score 1,000 career points, but Dominican would hang on to take the win, 92-83, Thursday night at the WU Athletics Complex.

Head needed 31 points to reach the 1,000 point mark, and scored exactly that on a made three-pointer with 29 seconds to play in regulation. He finished with nine rebounds to go along with four assists and four steals, while going 9-17 from the floor and a perfect 12-12 from the free throw line. The redshirt junior trails Herbert Dennis by 246 points for fourth all-time, while Tyaire Ponzo-Peek holds the record for most points in program history with 1,808.

Despite the career mark for Head, the Wildcats (9-12, 6-6 CACC) could not contain the Chargers’ (16-4, 11-1) halftime lead. WilmU was able to come back from a 20-13 lead by Dominican with 10 minutes left to play in the first half. With a 6-0 run the Wildcats tied the game at 26 a piece with 3:31 to play in the half, until Dominican went on their own 6-0 run to increase their lead 32-26 and force a Wilmington timeout with 2:02 to go.

Jordan Harding and Danny Walsh would go to the line one after the other and knock down two free throws a piece to bring the deficit to within two points, but a Wildcat turnover in the final seconds of the half would give Dominican a 34-30 lead into halftime.

It would be a back-and forth start to the second half as the Wildcats tied the score twice, but on an and-one with 15:17 to play, Dominican would start a 7-0 run to take a 48-40 lead. WilmU would climb within four after layup from Omari Dill-Pettiford to make it a 56-52 game, but the Chargers would start to build their lead to 10 points with 7:46 to play in the game.

Dominican would take their largest lead of the game of 15 with 6:12 to go in regulation, but the Wildcats would only contain the lead to 10 points, as the Chargers would take the game, 92-83.

Head scored 19 of his 31 points in the second half, as Danny Walsh chipped in with 16 points and four steals. Omari Dill-Pettiford would finish with 13 points, with Jordan Harding adding 11 points and six rebounds for the Wildcats.

Despite the Wildcats going a perfect 21-21 from the free throw line, the Chargers shot 52.4 percent from the floor for the night. The 21-21 from the foul line sets a new single game program record for the Wildcats, surpassing the only other perfect night, 10-10, against Franklin Pierce on December 17, 2017, with at least 10 free throws made.

The Wildcats return to action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Felician for another CACC cross divisional contest. The Wildcats and Golden Falcons are set for a 3:30 p.m. tip-off in Rutherford, New Jersey.

NEWARK, Del. - - Trailing by four points midway through the first half, the Wilmington University men’s basketball team used a 14-0 run to flip the momentum against Georgian Court, holding of the Lions for an 86-79 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory at the WU Athletics Complex on Wednesday night.

The Wildcats (10-13, 7-7 CACC) snapped a four-game losing streak by hanging on against the Lions (4-18, 3-11 CACC), leading by 16 points as late as with 7:53 left in regulation before securing the win late.

But it was a 14-0 run in the first half that swung the momentum in favor of the home team on Wednesday night, as the Wildcats turned a 22-18 deficit into a 32-22 lead. It only took a matter of 3:49 in game time for the Wildcats to rattle off the 14-point run, starting with a Jermaine Head old-fashioned three-point play. Jordan Harding put in another old-fashioned three-point play to give the Wildcats a 30-22 lead before Head finished off the spurt with a layup, 32-22, with 6:56 left in the first half.

The Lions closed to within six, but Thomas Farrior hit a jumper and Jordan Harding nailed a three in the closing seconds, sending the Wildcats into the break leading 46-35.

Georgian Court cut the deficit to seven points before Danny Walsh started a run to give the Wildcats their largest lead of the half. Walsh hit a three-pointer with 13:57 to play as Jermaine Head added a layup for the 13-point lead. Walsh capped the run with another three-pointer, giving the Wildcats a 66-50 lead with 12:06 showing on the clock.

Walsh hit another three-pointer with 8:04 left in regulation to put the Wildcats up 75-59, but the Lions wouldn’t go away so easily. Three straight three-pointers brought the Lions to within 75-68 with 6:36 to play, on their way to scoring 10 straight.

Danny Sullivan ended the drought with three-pointer for the Wildcats and then drove the lane for the tough two with 3:09 to play, regaining a double digit lead, 82-72.

Georgian again cut it to six with 2:35 to play, but didn’t hit another shot until there was eight seconds left in the game. The Wildcats hit just enough free throws down the stretch to keep the Lions at bay and end, 86-79.

Jermaine Head was two assists away from a triple-double, scoring 22 points to go with a team high 14 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals. Thomas Farrior added 19 points and eight rebounds while Danny Walsh hit four three-pointers and finished with 18 points. Jordan Harding chipped in with 17 points, knocking down three three-pointers.

With the win, coupled with a Holy Family loss, the Wildcats and Tigers are now tied for third in the South Division at 7-7. They are also one game behind Goldey-Beacom in the loss column for second place. The Wildcats travel to Bloomfield for their next game, as the Bears are tied atop the North Division. The Wildcats and Bears will play on Saturday with a 3:00 p.m. opening tip.

SUBJECT: James Madison Uses Late Run to Hold Off Blue Hens, 68-61


DATE: February 16, 2019


HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison guard Stuckey Mosley scored eight consecutive points during a key second half run and the Dukes held off the Blue Hens down the stretch to post a 68-61 victory over Delaware Saturday night at the JMU Convocation Center.


The first 12 minutes of the second half was a seesaw affair that featured eight lead changes, and the Blue Hens (16-12, 8-7 CAA) took a 50-49 advantage following a Ryan Johnson three-pointer with 8:02 on the clock. However Mosley followed with a mid-range jumper and two three-pointers to put JMU (12-15, 5-9 CAA) up 57-50 at the 5:36 mark.


Delaware closed within 61-58 and had the ball with under two minutes remaining, but Ryan Allen’s layup fell off the rim and the Blue Hens would not get closer.


Darian Bryant led Delaware with 15 points, while Johnson added a season-high 13 points on the night. Allen finished with 11 points, while Eric Carter narrowly missed a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.


Mosley paced the Dukes with 25 points, while Dwight Wilson contributed 14 points and 12 boards.


JMU used an early nine-point run to take a 17-7 lead at the 11:48 mark of the opening half, and extended the margin to 25-11 midway through the stanza. The Dukes were still up 13 a minute later, but Delaware scored 15 of the next 17 points to pull even at 29-29 on an Ithiel Horton free throw.


JMU’s Matt Lewis ended the run with a three-pointer, before Allen answered with two free throws as the Dukes took a 32-31 lead into the break.


A deep triple by Allen put the Blue Hens up 42-38 with 16 minutes to play, and the squads continued to go back in forth until Mosley’s spurt gave the Dukes the lead for good.


Head Coach Martin Ingelsby

“We got off to a tough start tonight and battled back, but just ran out of gas. I thought we were really fatigued down the stretch. It was a back and forth second half, but we had a couple of turnovers and Mosley hit some tough shots at the other end. It was a tough night but we still split the road trip. We just need to get back to campus and get some rest.”


Game Notes

• Delaware had its two-game winning streak snapped

• JMU halted a five-game losing skid to the Blue Hens

• Allen reached double figures for the fourth straight game

• Both teams grabbed 28 rebounds on the night

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - - The Wilmington University men’s basketball team scored the most points in a single game in program record, defeating Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference foe Chestnut Hill, 105-93, on Saturday afternoon inside Sorgenti Arena.

With the win, the Wildcats are now 12-14 overall, improving to 9-8 inside the CACC. Still fighting for seeding inside the CACC South Division, the Wildcats inched closer to the No. 2 seed as Goldey-Beacom fell to USciences on Saturday. The Wildcats are a game behind Goldey-Beacom for second and are tied with Holy Family (9-8) in third with two games to play. Both games are against the Tigers (Wednesday) and Lightning (Saturday).

The Griffins (3-22, 0-16 CACC) started strong, taking as large as a five-point lead, 10-5, in the first four minutes of play. Jordan Harding erased the deficit with a three-pointer, giving the Wildcats a 12-11 lead but the Griffins we’re backing down.

The Wildcats went up by eight points midway through the half before the Griffins answered and regained the lead, 27-24, with 6:53 left before the break. A Wildcats’ 7-0 run gave the visitors the lead once again, 31-27, and the margin remained there until the end of the half. Jermaine Head would hit a three-pointer with six ticks on the clock, sending the Wildcats into the break leading 47-41.

Thomas Farrior put in a layup and Jermaine Head added a three-pointer on their next possession for a 59-47 lead. Ed Henderson and Jordan Harding then hit back-to-back three-pointers to put the visitors up 65-51 with 15:02 on the clock. Alvin West hit a triple for a 72-53 lead before Farrior hit a jumper and West another three-pointer move ahead, 77-56, with 10:47 to play.

Thomas Farrior gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the night, 87-62, with 6:52 to play before the Griffins fought all the way back to within single digits, 93-84, with 1:33 left in the game. Chestnut Hill again had the game at 95-86, with 1:19 to play before the Wildcats hit four straight free throws. Thomas Farrior sent the Wildcats over the century mark for just the third time in the program’s NCAA era with two free throws, before Jordan Harding set the new scoring mark with two more from the charity stripe, 103-91, with 46 seconds left.

Alvin West capped the scoring for the Wildcats, hitting two from the foul line to set the new single game scoring record at 105 points. That mark surpasses the 102 points they scored against Georgian Court on January 14, 2014, at the WU Athletics Complex.

Farrior led five Wildcats in double figures with a game high 29 points, shooting 12-of-23 from the floor. Jordan Harding secured a double-double with 22 points and 13 rebounds while Jermaine Head added 22 points, five rebounds, and six assists.

DSU scored just one point the rest of the way, on a free throw by D’Marco Baucum to tie the game at 56-56 with 1:15 remaining.

Maryland-Eastern Shore took the lead for good when Canaan Bartley hit two free throws with 1:04 left.

The Hornets committed a turnover on the ensuing possession, and the Hawks took advantage when Bartley scored on a tip-in to give the visitors a 60-56 lead with 18 seconds left in the game.

After a Delaware State miss on its next possession, Bartley sealed the win for MDES with two free throws with eight ticks remaining.

Kevin Larkin added 19 points for Delaware State, while Taylor Isaac was high man for Maryland-Eastern Shore with 18 on nine-of-14 shooting from the field. Bartley tallied 10 points for the Hawks, highlighted by six-for-six shooting at the free throw line.

Delaware State led 28-24 at the half, but was outscored 38-28 in the final 20 minutes.

The Hornets return to action on Monday with a MEAC game Coppin State. Start time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Baltimore, Md.

Shippensburg sandwiched two goals around a Lashay Ross mark before Mariah Spencer scored her first of the year on a free position attempt. The Raiders answered with the final two goals of the half, taking a 10-5 lead into the break.

Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball Almost Pulls a Miracle in 83-82 Loss to University of the Sciences


Goldey-Beacom nearly eradicated a near-insurmountable deficit in the final minute, only to be handed a tough 83-82 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss by University of the Sciences at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


USciences looked like a certain winner when Paddy Casey went 1-for-2 from the line with 28 seconds to give his outfit an 82-74 lead. But the GBC comeback ensued when senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) canned a jumper with 23 seconds to go for a six-point deficit.


Brandon Starr was fouled for the Devils, but he only made 1-of-2 from the line with 19 seconds left for an 83-76 contest. Taite came back on the other end with 14 seconds remaining, making layup for a five-point game.


A turnover on the inbounds back gave the Lightning the ball underneath the basket. Sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) looked in the corner and found an open classmate in Kyle Elliot (Rahway, NJ), who canned a triple with 11 seconds to play for an 83-81 game.


A five-second count for the Devils resulted in another turnover and another Lightning possession with short real estate. Elliot looked to get a quick deuce, but his layup went awry and Livingston got the rebound before being fouled with three seconds left.


Livingston made the first free throw for a one-point game and missed the second, but got the offensive rebound and had a chance to give GBC its first lead. But his shot in close was blocked out of bounds by Jordan White with 0.2 seconds to go.


With the rules dictating a tap-in only is permitted with 0.3 seconds left or fewer, GBC had to get a quick attempt. But Taite’s quick shot did not leave his hands in time.


Taite ended with 26 points on 11-of-22 shooting over 40 minutes, giving the reigning CACC Player of the Year at least 20 points for the 11th time this season. Senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted 14 points, Livingston had 11 and six rebounds with senior Troy Stancil (Washington, DC) adding 11 points.


Tanner Kerr scored 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting, Brendan Crawford had 16 and 15 rebounds, Casey netted 15 points that included 11-for-12 from the line, White scored 14 points and Starr amassed 13 for USciences (10-17, 7-11 CACC).


Taite now is tied for the school’s career lead with 201 three-pointers. He already is the program’s career leader in points (1,696) and field goals (533).


Goldey-Beacom (12-14, 10-7) now see its lead for second place in the CACC South Division drop to one game with victories Saturday by both Holy Family (9-8) and Wilmington (9-8). All have two games remaining.


The top two seeds in each of the two divisions host a conference-quarterfinal game.


Goldey-Beacom is on the road next Wednesday to visit Georgian Court. Game time in Lakewood, NJ is 8:00 pm, which follows the women’s 6:00 pm contest.



Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball Handed 70-49 Loss by vs. No. 5 University of the Sciences


Goldey-Beacom hung around with fifth-ranked University of the Sciences, only to be dealt a 70-49 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.


The Lightning were in a 20-point hole late in the third quarter, but scored the next 11 points bridging the final two periods to close to 54-45 with 8:39 left. Senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) scored five points in that time and junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) ended things on a layup.


But the Devils prevailed by scoring the next 13 points to open a 67-45 cushion with 3:08 to play. Alex Thomas (Hockessin, DE/St. Elizabeth’s) was a major force for USciences with nine points in that span, helping her unit shoot 5-of-7 from the field.


USciences prevailed in the fourth quarter by shooting 55 percent (6-of-11) from the floor and holding GBC to only 36 percent (5-of-14).


McGrogan again played great with 17 points and six assists for the Lightning, who shot 35 percent (18-of-52) from the field and 4-of-15 from 3-point range. Turner-Rush scored 10 points and sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE/St. Elizabeth’s) added six rebounds.


Turner-Rush now is tied for 10th in team history with 904 career points, McGrogan is third on the program’s single-season free throw list with 117, she is sixth in single-season assists with 99 and freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) is second in single-season 3-pointers with 66.


Thomas netted 16 points to go with nine rebounds, Irisa Ye poured in 13 points and Jess Huber came off the bench to score 11 for the Devils (26-1, 17-1 CACC), who have won 15 straight.


Goldey-Beacom (12-14, 8-9) has a one-game lead over Wilmington (7-10) for the fourth and final conference tournament spot from the CACC South Division and a 1 1/2-game margin over Chestnut Hill (6-10). The two formers have two games left and the latter has three.


Goldey-Beacom is on the road next Wednesday to visit Georgian Court. Game time in Lakewood, NJ is 6:00 pm, which precedes the men’s 8:00 pm contest.

The Tigers would hit their fourth three of the quarter with 39 seconds left to make it a 65-61 game, before having to foul Kiara Eubanks, sending her to the line to make two free throws and give WilmU a six point lead of 67-61.

Holy Family would score two more times and cut the lead down to three, making it 68-65 with 19 seconds left, but Jadyn Whitsitt would go to the line for the final time of the night to give the Wildcats a 70-65 lead to secure the win for the Wildcats.

T: Sean Sheehan Scores the Overtime Winner as Men’s Lacrosse Wins Home Opener over UDC, 10-9

DATE: February 27, 2019
MKR

NEWARK, Del. – With 2:52 left to play in overtime, Sean Sheehan gave the Wilmington University men’s lacrosse team the game winning goal to beat the University of the District of Columbia, 10-9, at the WU Athletics Complex on Wednesday afternoon.

In their home opener, the Wildcats (2-1) were able get out to a 6-3 lead into the fourth quarter but UDC’s (1-2) six fourth quarter goals would be enough to force overtime against the Wildcats.

The first shot of the game by Dylan McCleaft was good enough to give WilmU the first goal of the game by a pass from Austin Wood just 3:51 into the contest, before McCleaft would net his second goal of the game, and fifth of the season to give the Wildcats a 2-0 lead with 8:16 to play in the first quarter. UDC would get their first goal of the game just a minute later to decrease WilmU’s 2-1 lead.

Dylan McCleaft would secure the hat trick for the Wildcats with his third goal of the game with 12:01 to play in the second quarter to give Wilmington a 3-1 lead. Coming off a missed shot by UDC and a clear attempt from WilmU, Ralph Ruggiero would find the back of the net for the Wildcats to increase their lead to three. The Firebirds would get one more goal back before the half, as the Wildcats took a 4-2 lead into the break.

Sophomore defensemen Jake Mollohan would find Austin Wood just 2:01 into the second half to give Wilmington back a three goal lead, until the Firebirds found their first goal of the second half with 3:46 to play to make it a 5-3 game. McCleaft wouldn’t let the Wildcats without another goal before the quarter ended, scoring on a feed from Jamie Colligan to take a 6-3 lead into the final quarter.

The Wildcats’ 6-3 lead would increase to 8-3 courtesy of McCleaft, but their four-goal lead wouldn’t be a threat to UDC as they would score three straight goals in a span of 2:24 to make it a 7-6 game in favor of the Wildcats. Anton Mackey was able to win the faceoff after the goal, and get the ball over to Matt Browne who found Sean Sheehan to give WilmU an 8-6 lead, before Jake Walsh gave the Wildcats another one with 5:45 to play and increase their lead back to three, 9-6.

UDC was not done again though, as they scored back-to-back-to-back goals to tie the game at 9-9 with 1:26 left in regulation and force overtime.

To begin OT, Anton Mackey would win the faceoff for the Wildcats but quickly turn the ball over to give UDC a chance. Luckily, an attempt to clear the ball by the Firebirds failed, and the Wildcats were able to regain possession. Jake Walsh would get a shot off first, but on another chance, Ralph Ruggiero found Sean Sheehan who made the game winning goal just 2:08 into overtime to give Wilmington the 10-9 victory.

Dylan McCleaft led the Wildcats with five goals on 11 shots while adding seven groundballs. Sean Sheehan also scored two goals. Ralph Ruggiero would have one goal and one assist for the Wildcats, while Jake Walsh (1 G), Austin Wood (1G, 1A), Matt Brown (1A), and Jake Mollohan (1A) got on the board for WilmU. Defensively, Anton Mackey led the Wildcats with nine ground balls on the faceoff, as Jake Mollohan had five. Noah Given made 17 saves in goal.

The men are back home for their next three contests, including next Wednesday as they host Davis & Elkins at 3:00 p.m.

Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball Rolls to 89-52 Triumph at Georgian Court


Sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the second half, when Goldey-Beacom grabbed control and rolled to an 89-52 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win at Georgian Court in Lakewood, NJ.


The second half belonged to Livingston, who shot 9-of-12 from the floor in that time to help his unit shoot 44 percent (16-of-36) from the field with eight 3-pointers. Goldey-Beacom outscored Georgian Court 59-35 in the second half, held the home side to 39 percent shooting (11-of-28) and moved to 12-0 in the series.


Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) once again had a solid performance, ending with 24 points and shooting 16-for-16 from the foul line. He becomes the school’s career leader with 445 free throws, in addition to being at the top with 1,720 points, 537 field goals and tied for first with 201 three-pointers.


Senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting and Livingston also hauled in nine rebounds.


Caleb Bowser scored 19 points for the Lions (4-23, 3-15 CACC), who shot 34 percent (17-of-50) from the floor.


Goldey-Beacom in the opening half limited Georgian Court to just 27 percent shooting (6-of-22), forced it into a stunning 17 turnovers and held a 30-17 lead. Johnson poured in 10 points in that time and Taite added eight.


GBC (13-14, 11-7 CACC) enters the final day of the regular season with a one-game lead over Holy Family (10-8) for second place in the CACC South Division.

Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball Dealt Gutwrenching 75-74 Loss at Georgian Court


In a stunning comeback that turned into a painful setback, Goldey-Beacom nearly pulled off a miracle but was handed a 75-74 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss by Georgian Court in Lakewood, NJ.


The Lightning faced a 70-58 deficit entering the fourth quarter before finding another gear. The visitors shockingly netted the first 12 points of the period to draw level, 70-70, with 4:15 left and were in total control. Sophomore Alanna Speaks (Dover, DE/St. Elizabeth’s) netted six points in that time and junior Amanda McGrogan (Mount Laurel, NJ) added five for GBC, which forced Georgian Court into five turnovers during that span.


Nearly two minutes of scoreless basketball went by before Jada Atchison finally broke the ice for the Lions in the period. She had an open look at a 3-pointer and canned it with 2:25 remaining, giving her squad a 73-70 advantage.


Speaks was fouled driving to the goal and she sank two free throws with 2:09 to go, bringing the Lightning within 73-72. Atchison missed a 3-pointer on the other end and Goldey-Beacom got the ball back.


GBC worked the ball around looking for its first lead of the game, but freshman Vera Lauhaluoma (Espoo, Finland) missed a 3-pointer from the left corner. However, Speaks grabbed a huge offensive rebound and the Lightning had another chance. This time it was McGrogan, who was hacked as she was going to the basket.


McGrogan canned both free throws and the Lightning had a 74-73 lead with 1:20 to go.


Then the Lions had several cracks of their own to regain the advantage. Carna Prokic missed a jumper and the home side got it back thanks to a loose-ball foul. Atchison then took her turn, but her shot in close was swatted away by Lauhaluoma. Georgian Court got the ball back with the shot clock running down, but Ivona Krakic’s forced shot missed everything and resulted in a 30-second violation.


Goldey-Beacom now had the ball with 25 seconds left and the shot clock off. A bad pass resulted in a wild scramble that saw Speaks open underneath the goal. But she missed a layup and Leighanna Lister hauled in the rebound. The Lions rushed it down the court and Atchison was fouled 10 feet from the basket with 6.8 seconds left.


She canned both free throws to give her side a 75-74 advantage.


The crazy turn of events now saw the Lightning get the ball and they had a chance in close, but freshman Alexis Harrison (Millville, NJ) had her layup attempt blocked by Krakic and Nerea Brajac got the rebound.


Brajac could not ice it as she missed both free throws with four seconds left, but neither team could corral the rebound before time expired.


Amidst all of that insanity, McGrogan equaled her career high with 28 points to go with shooting 12-for-14 from the line. Freshman Sarah Round (Northampton, England) scored 17 points, Speaks netted 16 and senior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) added seven. Turner-Rush now is 10th in school history with 911 career points.


Destiny Thompson poured in 19 points, Krakic had 15 and 12 rebounds, Atchison netted 16 points and Prokic added 12 for the Lions (12-14, 12-6 CACC), who won despite shooting just seven percent (1-of-13) from the field in the fourth quarter with five points.


It all comes down to the final game of the regular season as Goldey-Beacom (12-15, 8-10) faces Wilmington (8-10) with the winner going to the CACC Tournament as the fourth seed from the South Division and the loser eliminated. Game time Saturday at the Jones Center is 1:00 pm.


The winner gets North Division champion Dominican (NY) in the quarterfinals next Tuesday in Orangeburg, NY.
