Men’s Basketball Handed 82-63 by Regionally Ranked West Chester



Goldey-Beacom held West Chester in check during the first half, but allowed a big spurt after intermission for an 82-63 setback at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The Golden Rams owned a 48-41 halftime lead by shooting 53 percent (16-of-30) from the floor with four 3-pointers.  The Lightning more than held their own during that time, shooting 50 percent (16-of-32) from the field with seven 3-pointers.
 
Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) scored 14 points in the half for Goldey-Beacom with Jackson Hyland netting 12 and Frank Rokins adding 10 for West Chester.
 
But the Golden Rams (12-5) gained control in a convincing way, going on an 18-5 run in just over five minutes to grab a 66-48 cushion with 14:18 remaining.  Malik Jackson scored points in that time and Hyland added five.
 
Taite ended with 14 points, senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) poured in 13 and sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) added 10 to go with six assists for the Lightning (8-8), who shot 41 percent (24-of-59) from the floor.
 
GBC also induced 20 turnovers, marking the 10th time this season it has forced its opponents into at least that number.
 
Hyland closed with 19 points, Jackson poured in 15, Evan-Eric Longino scored 14 and Rokins added 13 for West Chester, which shot 48 percent (29-of-60) from the field and is ranked ninth in the Atlantic Region according to D2SIDA.
 
The contest was the College's "Welcome Back Game" in which the students were given t-shirts and treated to a pizza party.  A halftime promotional contest also was held involving randomly selected students.
 
Goldey-Beacom on Saturday is on the road to face Bloomfield at 3:00 pm.  The women's game between the same schools precedes it at 1:00 pm.
