Men’s Basketball Makes it Worth the Wait in 89-72 Triumph Over Chestnut Hill



Goldey-Beacom had to wait over six weeks, but it got the job done in its seventh straight win by rolling to an 89-72 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference triumph over Chestnut Hill at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
A 51-44 Lightning cushion soon became a 65-45 lead with 12:48 to play thanks to a 14-1 run that required just 3 1/2 minutes.  Senior Riyan Williams (Dunkirk, MD) scored five points in that span and junior Dante Thompson (Coram, NY) capped it with yet another one of his thunderous dunks.
 
Williams was is lockdown mode in the second half, netting 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting to help the Lightning shoot 68 percent (17-of-25) from the floor.  Thompson poured in 11 points in the stanza and sophomore Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) added nine.
 
Williams ended with 24 points – one shy of his season best – on 10-of-13 shooting and Thompson added 21 on 7-of-10 shooting for GBC, which shot 62 percent (34-of-55) overall.  Senior Khalil Keel (Philadelphia, PA) poured in a career-best 20 points and Taite added 11.
 
Bryant Quill scored 14 points, Chris Evans netted 12 with Demetrius Isaac and Liban Awl adding 10 apiece for the Griffins (4-14, 1-10 CACC), who shot 38 percent (10-of-26) from the field after intermission.
 
Goldey-Beacom (14-3, 9-2), which is now 9-0 in home games against Chestnut Hill, moves into first place in the CACC South Division by one-half game over Wilmington (8-2) and Philadelphia U. (8-2).  The winning streak is the team's longest since a school-record nine-game run in 2009-10.
 
The contest started December 6, but was suspended at halftime with Goldey-Beacom leading 42-32 due to a leaky roof.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Saturday at Roberts Wesleyan.  Tipoff in Rochester, NY is 1:00 pm.
