Men’s Basketball Handed Tough Loss by Regionally Ranked Adelphi



Goldey-Beacom gave regionally ranked Adelphi all it could handle in an enthralling battle, but left its final non-conference game of the regular season with a tough 77-73 loss at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The contest was a back-and-forth tussle in which no team led by more than four points from midway through the first half until just before the game's final minute.
 
Jack Laffey nailed two free throws with 3:40 remaining to give the Panthers a 68-67 lead before each team missed a pair of 3-pointers.  The Lightning looked to regain the advantage, but senior Jarrel Lane (Roselle, NJ) threw away the ball and Anthony Libroia swooped in for an easy layup with 2:07 remaining and a 70-67 contest.
 
After junior Sameen Swint (Sicklerville, NJ) missed a 3-pointer for GBC, Adelphi looked to make it a two-possession game.  The Panthers worked the ball around and Laffey got it to Ryan DeNicola, who canned a huge mid-range jumper with 70 seconds remaining for a 72-67 lead.
 
The Lightning's next possession resulted in an offensive foul from junior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY), but DeNicola missed a layup on the other end to give the home squad life.  Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ), today named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week, made two free throws with 17 seconds to play before Libroia followed suit two seconds later for a 74-69 game.
 
Lane made an uncontested layup for a 74-71 margin before Libroia hit two more from the stripe with nine seconds left to all but end things.
 
Junior Elijah Tillman (Garnerville, NY) had 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting with nine rebounds, Swint notched 15 points and seven rebounds, Taite scored 15 points, Wilson netted 12 and Lane closed with eight assists to end one short of his personal best, seven points and six rebounds for GBC (5-10).
 
Michael Coffey had 21 points and 10 rebounds, Tavon Ginyard scored 17 points before fouling out, Laffey netted 16 and Libroia added 13 for the Panthers (12-2), who hit 13 three-pointers and are ranked seventh in the East Region according to D2SIDA.
 
Goldey-Beacom resumes CACC play Wednesday at Felician as part of a doubleheader with the women's team.  The men's game starts at 8:00 pm, preceded by the women's contest at 5:30 pm.
