Corey Taite Inches Closer to the Scoring Record in Men's Basketball's 97-63 Victory at Wilmington



Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) moved within striking distance of becoming Goldey-Beacom's career scoring leader, exploding in the second half in his squad's 97-63 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory at Wilmington (DE) in Newark, DE.
 
Goldey-Beacom in the first half grabbed a 43-36 lead, shooting 52 percent (6-of-31) from the floor with nine 3-pointers.  Sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) scored 10 points in the half with senior Troy Stancil (Washington, DC) and freshman Giovanni Jones (Norfolk, VA) adding nine apiece.
 
The Lightning then took control by scoring 13 straight points to open a 70-49 lead with 12:03 remaining.  Taite, who was bottled up for two points in the opening half, broke out with nine points in the burst.
 
Taite in the second half poured in 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting, helping the Lightning outscore the Wildcats 54-27.  GBC shot 55 percent (17-of-31) from the floor in the half and limited Wilmington to just 26 percent (10-of-38).
 
Taite and Stancil overall scored 20 points apiece, Livingston netted 14, senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) poured in 13 and Jones added 12 for GBC (3-5, 2-0 CACC), which shot 53 percent (33-of-62) from the field and canned 16 three-pointers.
 
Now with 1,404 career points, Taite is just nine shy of tying Sam McDuffie (2007-11) as the school's career scoring leader.
 
Tyler Norwood and Danny Walsh netted 15 points apiece with Ed Henderson adding 10 for the Wildcats (4-4, 1-1), who shot 34 percent (22-of-65) from the floor.
 
Goldey-Beacom next Wednesday steps out of conference to visit New Haven for a 7:00 pm contest.
