Syracuse, NY-
The Bryant & Stratton College- Syracuse Men's Basketball team improved to 3-1 on the season with a 93-80 victory over Paul Smith's College in their home-opener. The Bobcats are now 1-0 at home and have won 3 straight games after dropping their first game of the season by just one point.
How it happened:
In their first home game at the Tipperary Hill Community Center, the Bobcats of Bryant & Stratton College- Syracuse played with energy and tenacity from the opening tip. Some dominant play on the interior by Josue Oreste helped the Bobcats to an early 15-12 lead which they would never relinquish.
A strong defensive performance by the Bobcats helped the team force turnovers and get out into transition for easy buckets. Leading the charge for the Bobcats were Jameel Abdallah with 25 points and Moses Hughes with 19 points.
The game never looked in doubt for the Bobcats as their lead ballooned up to 16 points at times throughout the second half. At times, Paul Smith would cut into the lead, but never was able to close the gap lower than 6 points. Key baskets from Anton Berga (15 points) in the second half helped ensure the Bobcats a win on their home court.
"Our guys did a great job using the energy of the home-opener to play fast," said Head Coach Clay Gagen-Sherman. "Even in the first few games of the season, we have learned from mistakes and done a better job maintaining and extending leads. We will continue to show up everyday to improve and get better as a team."
Next Game:
The Bobcats will have a quick turnaround as they are in action at home today, November 14th at 4pm for what should be an exciting matchup against Washington Adventist University.
The game will be played at the Tipperary Hill Community Center located at 201 Hamilton Street, Syracuse, NY 13204.
