Men’s Basketball Handed 81-68 Loss by No. 16 Saint Thomas Aquinas



Goldey-Beacom got off to a fast start, but could not hold it in an 81-68 loss to 16th-ranked Saint Thomas Aquinas at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
GBC exploded to an 18-4 lead five minutes in by shooting 6-of-9 from the floor with five 3-pointers.  Troy Stancil (Washington, DC) made the most of his Pike Creek debut with 11 points in that span and fellow junior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) added six.
 
The Spartans responded with a 36-18 run for the rest of the half to open a 40-36 lead.  Chris Atkinson netted 13 points for STAC (4-2), which shot 12-of-19 in that stretch with six 3-pointers.
 
The Lightning closed to 48-42 with 16:24 left on Johnson's jumper, but the Spartans then used an 18-9 run over eight minutes to open a 66-51 cushion with 8:09 to go.  Justin Reyes scored eight points in that spurt.
 
Reyes went on a tear with 23 points on 6-of-11 shooting, 16 rebounds and going 11-for-12 from the foul line for the Spartans, who shot 49 percent (26-of-53) from the field.  Atkinson ended with 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting and James Mitchell added 19 points.
 
Stancil closed with 18 points, Johnson netted 17 with junior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) and senior Dante Thompson (Coram, NY) getting 10 apiece for the Lightning (0-3), who shot 47 percent (25-of-53) from the floor.
 
The game was part of "Legacy Night," the College's rebranding of Homecoming Weekend, in which many Goldey-Beacom alums attended for a night of food, comradery and basketball
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Tuesday to visit Division I Morgan State for a 7:00 pm contest.
