Men's Basketball Falls to Pace 77-54 in Season Opener
Injuries led to only 8 warriors suiting up in tonight's matchup
Nyack,
NY - In front of great crowd, the Warriors came out playing intense
defense but struggled offensively and trailed 10-2 early in the
game. Nyack would then go on an 11-4 run to close the gap to
14-13 midway through the first half. Strong defense continued
as with 5:59 to go in the 1st half the Warriors trailed by
only 1 point 22-21. Pace would then use a 17-2 run to close
out the half and that segment set the Warriors back mightily as
they were defeated 77-54 tonight in Bowman Gym.
"I
thought we came out with great energy tonight. We had some
guys that logged alot of minutes. I never felt like we gave
up. We saw a ton of youthful mistakes that we must clean
up. For the most part I was happy with of our defensive
play---it was the 16 turnovers and the 11 missed free throw's that
played a huge role in this loss. Pace is a very good team and
they did a great job of capitalizing off of our mistakes all night
long. We can't make that many errors and have a chance to
win. We must rebound from this lost quickly and take on a
very talented New York Tech team tomorrow night."
Khalid
Samuels led the way with 16 points and 3 assists. Chris
Hampton added 10 points for the Warriors. Keon Williams
from Pace led all scorers with 25 points.
