Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) almost helped Goldey-Beacom pull off a stunning comeback Saturday and his effort played a big role in him being picked to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll.
 
Taite scored 26 points on 11-of-22 shooting with four 3-pointers, four rebounds, four assists and two steals in Goldey-Beacom's tough 83-82 loss to University of the Sciences.  Taite scored 20 points in the second half, including four in the last 23 seconds when the Lightning nearly overcame an 82-74 deficit with 28 seconds to go.
 
It has been yet another impeccable season for the reigning CACC Player of the Year and first team All-East Region pick.  He is 74th in the nation with 19.2 points per game, 55th with an .867 free throw percentage, 73rd with 111 free throws, 74th with 35.1 minutes per contest, 91st with a 2.04 assist-to-turnover ratio and 97th with 1.75 steals per game.
 
It is the ninth time this season Taite has been picked to the Weekly Honor Roll, in addition to being named twice the league's Player of the Week.  He was named earlier this season to the Top 100 Watch List for the Bevo Francis Award, given to the nation's top men's college basketball player not in Division I.
 
Taite is the school's career leader with 1,696 points, 533 field goals and is tied with 201 three-pointers.
 
Goldey-Beacom (12-14, 10-7 CACC) is in second place in the CACC South Division by one game over both Holy Family (9-8) and Wilmington (9-8).  All have two games remaining and the two third-place squads face each other Wednesday in Newark.  The top two squads in each of the two divisions host a quarterfinal in the CACC Tournament.
 
Goldey-Beacom is on the road Wednesday to face Georgian Court, beginning at 8:00 pm in Lakewood, NJ.
