Men’s Basketball Handed 69-66 Loss by Merrimack



Goldey-Beacom made a game of it in the second half, but it was not enough to eradicate a first-half barrage in a 69-66 loss to Merrimack at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
It was the Warriors who dominated the first half, gaining a 48-31 halftime lead by shooting 53 percent (20-of-38) from the floor with seven 3-pointers.  Ryan Boulter led the charge with 16 points in the stanza.
 
The Lightning made things interesting in the second half, using a 10-2 run over 2 1/2 minutes to close to 66-58 with 2:19 to play.  Senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted five points in that time.
 
Goldey-Beacom needed another stop to further chisel into the deficit.  But it was not to be as Boulter canned an open 3-pointer from the right corner, making it 69-58 with 1:49 left that all but ended the contest.
 
Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) scored 17 points to go with four assists and three 3-pointers over 40 minutes.  He also made six baskets to give him 452 career, moving him into a tie with Sam McDuffie (2007-11) for the most in team annals.
 
Johnson poured in 16 points and junior Dwayne Dixon (Newark, NJ) hauled in 15 rebounds for the Lightning (5-6), who shot 37 percent (21-of-57) overall from the field.
 
Boulter ended with 21 points on 8-of-15 shooting and four 3-pointers for the Warriors (8-5), who shot 45 percent (28-of-62) from the floor but kept the Lightning in the contest by going only 3-for-10 from the line.
 
Goldey-Beacom is home Wednesday against Chestnut Hill at 8:00 pm, following the women's 6:00 pm contest between the same schools.
