Men’s Basketball Makes It Four Straight With 85-73 Triumph Over Jefferson



Sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) went on a tear with 21 points and Goldey-Beacom stayed unbeaten in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with its fourth straight overall win, 85-73 over Jefferson at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Goldey-Beacom, which led by as many as 13 points in the opening half, only found itself with a 57-54 margin with 13:59 remaining.  That was before the Lightning went on a 12-4 in just over five minutes to grab a 69-58 cushion with 8:31 to go.  Livingston, who could not be stopped throughout the contest, continued his surge with six points in that run to help his squad shoot 4-of-5 from the floor.
 
The second half was a shooting clinic for the Lightning, who went off for 65 percent (17-of-26) from the floor with three 3-pointers to outscore the Rams 43-36.  A big part of the game was the points in the paint and the second half told a big story with GBC owning a 26-12 advantage.
 
Livingston fell just short of his season-best 25 points scored in the opener November 10 at Bentley.  Still, he had a monster contest by shooting 8-of-11 from the floor and canning five 3-pointers to tie his career best from February 13, 2018 at the University of the Sciences.
 
Junior Dwayne Dixon (Newark, NJ) had 16 points and a season-best 14 rebounds for his first double-double as a Lightning, Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) netted 16 points, fellow senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted 15 and senior Troy Stancil (Washington, DC) added 11 for the Lightning, who shot 56 percent (34-of-61) from the field.
 
GBC (5-5, 3-0 CACC) is off to its best league start since beginning the 2011-12 campaign 4-0.
 
Deondre Bourne netted 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting, Alexander Gorton netted 17, DeVaughn Mallory poured in 14 and Josh Bradanese added 11 for the Rams (5-6, 1-2), who shot 53 percent (29-of-55) from the field.
 
Goldey-Beacom is off until December 30, when it is home against Merrimack at 2:30 pm.  The women's game against New Haven follows at 5:00 pm.
