Men’s Basketball Wins School-Record 10th Consecutive Game, 115-74 Over Nyack



Goldey-Beacom broke the school record with its 10th straight win and tied a near decade-old scoring mark in a 115-74 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference thrashing of Nyack in Nyack, NY.
 
The new summit breaks the old mark of nine straight wins set during the 2009-10 season.  That campaign also was when the squad notched a school-record six-game road winning streak, which today was equaled.  GBC also extended its team mark for most road victories in a season to nine.
 
If that was not enough, the Lightning tied what is believed to be their team record for most points in a game in the modern era.  They recorded a 115-72 triumph over Columbia Union (now Washington Adventist) on December 13, 2007.
 
The school record of 202 points was scored against the defunct-Allentown Business School in 1971.
 
Goldey-Beacom today in the first half exploded to a 53-31 halftime lead by shooting a robust 65 percent (17-of-26) from the field with eight 3-pointers.  Riyan Williams (Dunkirk, MD) scored 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting with two 3-pointers, fellow senior Shakeem Wilson (Brooklyn, NY) netted 13 points and junior Dante Thompson (Coram, NY) added 10.
 
The Lightning also scored 11 straight points in the half over three minutes, held the Warriors to 44 percent shooting (12-of-27) in the stanza and forced them into eight turnovers.
 
The second half featured an even greater barrage with the visitors putting 62 points on the board by shooting 70 percent (21-of-30) from the floor with eight 3-pointers.  Senior Sameen Swint (Sicklerville, NJ) scored 15 points off the bench on 5-of-7 shooting, sophomore Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) netted 13 with three 3-pointers and senior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs (New Castle, DE) added 10.
 
When the dust finally settled, Williams closed with 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting to lead six players in double figures.  Wilson poured in 19, Ridgeway-Higgs, Taite and Swint netted 18 apiece with Thompson getting 17 for the Lightning, who shot a season-best 68 percent (38-of-56) from the field with a team-high 16 three-pointers.
 
Robert Tyler scored 19 points with Imran Ritchie and Jaron Smith netting 16 apiece for the Warriors (6-13, 2-10 CACC), who shot 44 percent (27-of-61) from the floor and were just 5-of-24 from three-point range.
 
GBC (17-3, 11-2) leads Philadelphia U. (10-2) by one-half game for first place in the CACC South Division.  Its magic number for clinching a spot in the CACC Tournament is two.
 
Goldey-Beacom on Wednesday visits Philadelphia U. with the men's game starting at 8:00 pm, preceded by the women at 6:00 pm.
