Men’s Basketball Stays Perfect in the CACC With 83-63 Win Over Chestnut Hill



Junior Dwayne Dixon (Newark, NJ) scored all 20 of his points in the first half for Goldey-Beacom, which remained unbeaten in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with an 83-63 triumph over Chestnut Hill at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Dixon was the story in the opening half, shooting 8-of-10 from the floor to help the Lightning hit for 42 percent (16-of-38) with five 3-pointers.  GBC also forced Chestnut Hill into 13 turnovers and owned a 40-28 halftime cushion.
 
The Griffins closed to 51-41 with 13:09 remaining before the Lightning used a 19-2 surge to grab a 70-43 margin with 7:18 to go.  Sophomore Kyle Elliot (Rahway, NJ) scored seven points in that time and senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) added six for GBC, which shot 9-of-12 from the field.
 
Dixon, named this week to the CACC Weekly Honor Roll, ended the contest shooting 8-of-11 from the field with three 3-pointers over 24 minutes.  Elliot scored a career-best 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting and Johnson added 13 for GBC, which shot 55 percent (18-of-33) from the floor in the second half and 48 percent (34-of-71) overall.
 
Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ), picked to the CACC Weekly Honor Roll for a fifth time this season, hit four baskets and now is the program's career leader with 456.  Sam McDuffie (2007-11) held the previous mark with 452.
 
Goldey-Beacom (6-6, 4-0 CACC) continued its best league start since posting the same record in the 2011-12 season.
 
Amir Warrick and Juston Bailey netted 16 points apiece for the Griffins (3-9, 0-3), who shot 42 percent (25-of-59) from the floor.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Saturday to visit Concordia (NY) for a 3:00 pm contest.  The women's game between the same schools precedes it at 1:00 pm.
