Men’s Basketball Falls, 85-82, to Felician



Goldey-Beacom grabbed a late lead, but could not keep a firm grip of it in a tough 85-82 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss to Felician at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
Goldey-Beacom was in a deep hole down 71-61 with 6:24 remaining.  But it began to climb out with a 17-5 run spanning four minutes to open a 78-76 lead with 2:25 left.  Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) continues his monster second half by getting 12 points in that time for the Lightning, who shot 6-of-7 from the field.
 
Rahsaan Williams hit a layup for Felician with 2:04 to go for a 78-78 tie.  But freshman Giovanni Jones (Norfolk, VA) got a layup of his own with 1:31 left to give the Lightning a two-point lead.
 
Felician had been wreaking havoc in the paint up until that point, but decided on the next possession to work outside the arc.  Zamir Wright obliged by canning a huge 3-pointer with 1:13 to go for an 81-80 Golden Falcons lead.
 
Following an empty possession both ways, GBC got the ball back and it was sophomore Tevin Service (Union, NJ) doing the honors.  With the attention on Taite, Service drove the lane and hit a layup with 31 seconds left for an 82-81 Lightning margin.
 
The Golden Falcons then stayed with their inside game and once again it worked, getting a layup from Williams with 18 seconds remaining for an 83-82 game.  GBC then decided to go back to Taite, but he missed from in close and the ball went out in Felician's favor with 3.3 seconds left.
 
Wright was fouled with 2.5 seconds to go and hit twice from the stripe for an 85-82 Felician lead.  The full-court inbounds pass from GBC went out off of Felician with 0.7 seconds left, but the next try did not work as a 3-pointer from senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) was off line at the buzzer.
 
Taite ended with 23 points that included 16 in the second half, Johnson overall netted 18, Jones had 15 and 13 rebounds with Service adding 11 points for Goldey-Beacom (8-11, 6-4 CACC), which shot 40 percent (28-of-70) from the floor.
 
Wright netted 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting, Williams scored 16, Dee-End McRae poured in 14 on 7-of-7 shooting and Jaylen Colon added 13 for Felician, which shot 63 percent (27-for-43) from two-point range and 56 percent (33-of-59) overall.  The Golden Falcons (7-9, 5-4) also shot 62 percent (16-of-26) from the field in the second half.
 
Goldey-Beacom next Wednesday is on the road to visit Chestnut Hill for an 8:00 pm contest.  The women's game between the same schools precedes it at 6:00 pm.
