Men's Basketball Takes 113-109 Victory over Roberts Wesleyan in Season Opener



Goldey-Beacom officially opened its season competing in the East Region Challenge, topping Roberts Wesleyan 113-109 in Amherst, NY.
 
The Lightning stormed to a 60-38 lead by halftime, helped by a 19-6 run with 7:31 remaining. In that time, sophomore Caleb Bates (Detroit, MI) notched six points and sophomore Omari Banks added five and two assists.
 
The second half opened in favor of the Lightning, who ran on a 7-4 run, led by junior Cardin Joubert (Naples, FL), who knocked down two threes in just over one minute.
 
With 10:29 left, Roberts Wesleyan began scratching away at the Lightning's lead. A jumper from Jean Aristil started an 18-6 run for the Redhawks as they trailed 102-90 with 5:32 remaining.
 
As Roberts Wesleyan built up momentum for another scoring run, scores from sophomore Zayon Marsh (Maplewood, NJ) forced the Redhawks to resort to fouling to save time. The Lightning closed the game 8-for-10 from the free throw line to secure a 113-109 victory.
 
The Lightning put on a clinic throughout the game, ending with 59 percent from field goal range and 60 percent from three.
 
Marsh closed with a near double-double of 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting and nine rebounds, Bates netted 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in just 17 minutes of play, Joubert notched 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting and five threes, with senior Nazim Derry (Atlantic City, NJ) shooting 17 points, and fellow senior Ayshion Centeno (Pleasantville, NJ) adding 12 points and eight rebounds for GBC (1-0).
 
Malik Brooks had 25 points and eight rebounds, Jermaine Taggart II had 16 points, Kevin Constant had 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, and Isaiah Elmore had 12 points and eight rebounds for Roberts Wesleyan (0-1).
