"Tonight's game was truly a tightly battled affair for a large portion of the night. It kept going back and forth until we gave up that decisive 16-2 run middway through the second half. We lost but saw a ton of strong signs competing with a top 25 level opponent. As I always say, it takes 40mins though to complete the task and earn a victory....Thanks to all of those that came out to support us on the Road vs Dominican...WE appreciate you! We get another shot at them at home in a few weeks" - said head coach Jason Crafton after the game.
Khalid Samuels and Will Robinson led the way for Nyack scoring 22 points each.
