Men’s Basketball Ties School Record with Ninth Straight Win, 86-68 Over Holy Family



Goldey-Beacom built a solid halftime lead and then rolled in the second half to tie the school record with its ninth straight win, an 86-68 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference triumph over Holy Family at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Goldey-Beacom raced to a 44-33 halftime lead by shooting 57 percent (16-of-28) from the floor and forcing Holy Family into 15 turnovers.  Riyan Williams (Dunkirk, MD) scored 11 points in the stanza and fellow senior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) added eight.
 
The Lightning then brought down the house with a 15-3 run in just under six minutes to open a 63-40 cushion with 11:41 left.  Senior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs (New Castle, DE) netted six points in the spurt as his unit held the visitors to just 1-of-9 shooting in that span.
 
Williams closed with 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting, Ridgeway-Higgs netted 15 points, senior Sameen Swint (Sicklerville, NJ) and junior Dante Thompson (Coram, NY) poured in 13 points each with Wilson getting 12 for GBC, which shot 51 percent (29-of-57) overall.
 
Dyllon Hudson-Emory had 24 points and 11 rebounds with Randy Bell adding 18 points for the Tigers (8-13, 6-6 CACC), who shot 42 percent (24-of-57) from the floor and committed 23 turnovers.
 
GBC (16-3, 10-2) continued its torrid pace by matching its winning streak from the 2009-10 campaign and getting double figures in league wins for just the sixth time in school history.  The Lightning move ahead of Philadelphia U. (9-2) and idle Wilmington (9-2) for first place in the CACC South Division.

The victory also makes coach TJ Dekmar the winningest first-year coach of any basketball program, men's or women's, in school history.  Women's coach Bethann Burke won 15 games during her first season in 2013-14. 

GBC, which entered the contest ranked 10th in the latest D2SIDA East Region Poll, snapped its four-game home skid against Holy Family.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Saturday at Nyack at 3:00 pm with the women's game at 1:00 pm preceding it.
