Men’s Basketball Cracks Wins Column with Victory Over Millersville



Goldey-Beacom crawled its way out of an early hole and then took charge in the second half for a 70-54 victory over Millersville at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Down 15-0 in just inside the first seven minutes, the Lightning outscored the Marauders 21-6 the remainder of the first half to forge a 21-21 tie.  Junior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) scored six points during that span in which GBC shot 6-of-14 from the floor and limited Millersville to only 2-of-16 with 11 turnovers.
 
The Lightning's offense was in full gear early in the second half, scoring 16 straight points to turn a three-point deficit into a 41-28 lead with 13:04 remaining.  Khalil Keel (Philadelphia, PA) and fellow junior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs (New Castle, DE) scored five points in a run which GBC shot 6-of-8 and hit all four of its three-point attempts.
 
Wilson was the story in the second half for the Lightning, scoring 16 points on 4-of-6 shooting and going 7-for-8 from the line.  He entered the game 10th in the country with 33 free throws made and 44 attempted.
 
Wilson overall scored 22 points and shot 9-for-10 from the line to continue his amazing start, giving him 18.3 points per game on the season.  He also is shooting 79 percent (42-for-53) from the stripe.
 
Keel and senior Jarrel Lane (Roselle, NJ) scored 11 points apiece for the Lightning (1-5), who shot 59 percent (17-of-29) from the field after intermission and 46 percent (23-of-50) overall
 
Cornell Yarde scored 15 points, Demerik Weglinski had 11 points and 13 rebounds with Shawn Williams scoring 11 points for the Marauders (2-4), who shot 34 percent (19-of-56) from the floor and only were 4-of-25 from 3-point range.
 
Goldey-Beacom hits the road Wednesday to face Holy Family as part of a doubleheader with the women's team.  The men's game starts at 8:00 pm, which follows the women's 6:00 pm contest.
