Men’s Basketball Gets Fifth Straight Win, 70-67 at Lincoln (PA)



Senior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) scored 24 points and Goldey-Beacom shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half for its fifth straight win, 70-67 at Lincoln (PA) in Oxford, PA.
 
Goldey-Beacom (6-2), which led by as many as 13 early in the second half, saw its margin cut to one before senior Khalil Keel (Philadelphia, PA) hit a jumper with 3:33 left for a 64-61 cushion.
 
Antonio Depina made 1-of-2 from the line to bring the Lions within 64-62 before Wilson canned a huge 3-pointer with 2:56 remaining, giving the Lightning a five-point lead.
 
The teams traded a pair of free throws before Jordan Watson nailed a jumper for Lincoln, making it 69-66 with 19 seconds left.  Sophomore Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) hit once from the line with 18 seconds remaining for the Lightning and Watson followed suit with eight seconds to play for a 70-67 contest.
 
Taite then missed two free throws and the Lions had one final chance, but Khayyir Laws could not connect a 3-pointer at the buzzer as GBC moved to 3-0 on the road this season against Division II foes.
 
Wilson shot 7-of-10 from the floor and 9-for-11 from the line to help his squad hit 46 percent (24-of-52) from the field overall and 10-of-20 after intermission.  Senior Nick Lawson (Woodbury, NJ) scored all 12 of his points in the first half and Taite added 11.
 
Watson netted 21 points with four 3-pointers with Laws and Joshua Davis adding 12 each for the Lions (1-7), who shot 43 percent (23-of-53) from the field.

Wilson moved into ninth place in career free throws with 139 and senior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs (New Castle, DE) scored seven points to move into a tie for 17th in school history with 600.  Ridgeway-Higgs also dished three assists and is tied for eighth in club annals with 195.
 
Goldey-Beacom in the opening half raced to a 42-33 lead by shooting 44 percent (14-of-32) from the field with six 3-pointers.  In addition to Lawson's points, Wilson added 11.
 
Goldey-Beacom is home Monday against Pace, starting at 8:00 pm.  The women play at 6:00 pm vs. New Haven.
