Chris Hampton led the way with 24 points (17 in the 1st half) and 6 rebounds. Sophomore Point Guard Khalid Samuels had his best floor game this season contributing 8 points and 7 assists. Freshman Miguel Martin added 11 points and 7 rebounds.
"I couldn't be more proud of our team tonight. Through all of the adversity we've faced with injuries and all---our squad gave it their absolute all tonight! Khalid Samuels did great job of running the offense while Chris Hampton showed tremendous poise with his shot selection. We also recieved a ton of help on the glass from our twin forwards (Frank & Miguel Martin) along with Tevin Evans. We have to build off this victory and get ready for a very good Molloy College team next Saturday." -Coach Crafton
