Taite’s Big 3-Pointer Lifts Men’s Basketball to Huge Win Over Concordia



Freshman Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) canned a huge 3-pointer with 17 seconds left as Goldey-Beacom withstood a late charge from Concordia (NY) in a big 79-76 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The Lightning began to tighten the screws late in the first half, when a 19-5 bridging both stanzas gave the squad a 44-34 lead in the first minute of the second half.  Senior Algeron Torrence (Syracuse, NY) continued his strong pace with seven points in that span.
 
GBC maintained the seemingly comfortable margin before Concordia went on a 9-2 run for a 68-65 deficit with 7:54 left.  Justyn Gardner scored four points in that spurt and Jalen Heath ended it on a 3-pointer.
 
Junior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs (New Castle, DE) canned a big 3-pointer with 3:56 left to give the Lightning a 75-69 lead.  But the Clippers continue to battle with Heath making one free throw and Elijah Brown hitting a layup with 2:25 to play for a 75-72 deficit.
 
GBC senior Jarrel Lane (Roselle, NJ) made 1-of-2 from the stripe with 1:52 left before Concordia's Stephen Milhaven rebounded Andrew Peacock's missed 3-pointer and laid it home with 1:20 remaining for a 76-74 contest.
 
Two Concordia fouls before it was in the penalty kept resetting the shot clock in Goldey-Beacom's favor.  After two Lightning timeouts, they had to inbound the ball from the baseline with 20 seconds left and only three on the shot clock.
 
Lane inbounded and passed it into the left corner to Taite, who found nothing but net on his triple for a 79-74 game.
 
Heath missed a 3-pointer on the other end and Peter Aguilar tipped in the rebound with 2.7 seconds to play, making it 79-76.  Both teams then used their final timeout and GBC had to inbound from its own baseline.  Lane threw a pass in the backcourt that was corralled by Peacock, who saw his desperation toss from three-quarter court go off the backboard as time expired.
 
Torrence has 15 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out for his second straight double-double.  Ridgeway-Higgs scored a season-best 18 points, Taite netted 17, Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) had 12 and seven rebounds, fellow junior Sameen Swint (Sicklerville, NJ) netted 10 points and Lane tied his career best with nine assists.
 
Aguilar scored 25 points, Milhaven netted 17 and Heath added 13 for the Clippers (10-14, 7-8 CACC).
 
The strong-shooting affair saw GBC hit 51 percent (32-of-63) from the floor with 11 three-pointers and Concordia register 44 percent (28-of-63) with eight 3-pointers.
 
GBC (8-15, 6-8) now sits tied with Chestnut Hill (6-8) for the fourth and final conference-tournament spot from the South Division with five games remaining.
 
Goldey-Beacom is home Thursday for a rescheduled doubleheader against Dominican (NY).  Please note the women's game starts at 5:00 pm and the men's contest begins at 7:00 pm.
