Second-Half Fireworks Lifts Men’s Basketball to Triumph Over Lincoln



Goldey-Beacom provided the New Year's fireworks hours before expected, running away from Lincoln (PA) in the second half and hiding for a 70-53 triumph at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The Lightning in the second half went on a tear, opening the stanza with a 35-7 run over the first 12:10 to grab a 58-35 lead.  Freshman Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) scored 13 points in that spurt with juniors Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) and Sameen Swint (Sicklerville, NJ) contributing eight apiece for GBC, which shot 11-of-16 from the floor in that span, made all 10 of its free throw attempts and forced Lincoln into 12 turnovers.
 
Lincoln only shot 3-of-12 in that span as part of a half in which it hit only 35 percent (20-of-60) from the floor.  With nine minutes elapsed in the second half, the Lions had surrendered a 26-5 run in which they shot only 2-of-9 from the field to go with committing nine turnovers and nine fouls.
 
Wilson overall scored 22 points on 6-of-13 shooting, shot 9-for-12 from the line and hauled in nine rebounds over 36 minutes.  He now is seventh in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with 17.0 points per game.
 
Taite poured in 19 points and Swint added 10 for the Lightning (5-9), who shot 52 percent (13-of-25) from the floor in the second half, 45 percent (21-of-47) overall and forced the Lions into 25 turnovers.
 
It is Goldey-Beacom's fourth victory in its last six outings.
 
Joshua Davis had 13 points and seven rebounds off the bench with Quaman Burton adding eight points for the Lions (2-9).
 
Goldey-Beacom is home Monday against Adelphi for its final non-conference game of the regular season.  Tip-off is at 7:00 pm.
