Conference 4-7)
The United States Merchant Marine
Academy men’s basketball team saw a 19-point second half lead cut to two points
while eventually holding off Moravian College for a 68-65 Landmark Conference
victory.
With the
victory, the Mariners improve to 13-8 overall and remain in a first place tie
in Landmark Conference action at 8-2. The Greyhounds are now 7-13 overall
and 3-7 in conference action after the team’s third straight loss.
Ryan Samuel
put USMMA on the scoreboard first with a pair of free throws, and the Mariners
would have a 10-0 lead after a three-pointer from Matt Hueber
at the 15:54 mark. Moravian would finally put points on the board on a
three-pointer from sophomore forward Chris
Cullen (East Islip, NY/East
Islip) with 14:28 remaining
in the first half. The Mariners kept their lead above seven points the
entire first half, leading by as many as 12 points, 29-17, with 4:03 left in
the first half on a lay-up from Matt Oaks.
USMMA headed
to the locker room with a 34-25 lead. The Mariners were 11 of 25 from the
field (44.0 percent), five of 12 on three-pointers and seven of ten at the foul
line in the first 20 minutes. Moravian struggled shooting in the first
half, making just eight of 30 field goal attempts (26.7 percent), four of 14
three-pointers and five of eight free throws. The Greyhounds did have a
21-19 edge in rebounds in the first half, and Moravian had eight turnovers in
the first 20 minutes while USMMA committed seven turnovers.
The Mariners
came out in the second half and extended their lead to 19 points, 51-32, on a

in the game. Moravian put together a 13-2 run to pull within eight
points, 53-45, on a pair of free throws from freshman guard Shane Painter (Bedminster, NJ/Bernards) with 10:27 to play. Moravian continued
to close the gap slowly through the remainder of the half, eventually pulling
within two points, 67-65, with 50 seconds left on a three-pointer from freshman
guard Sergio Camacho (Bethlehem, PA/Liberty). Trailing by three-points in the final
15 seconds, both sophomore guard Charlie
Rigoglioso (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Valley) and Painter would get
three-point attempts off but neither fell through the basket.
Moravian’s
shooting improved in the second half as the Greyhounds made 11 of 26 field goal
attempts (42.3 percent), four of 12 three-pointers and 14 of 17 free throws in
the final 20 minutes. The Mariners were 12 of 35 from the floor (34.3
percent), one of eight on three-pointers and just nine of 18 at the foul line
in the second half. Moravian finished the game with a 46-41 edge in
rebounds while the Greyhounds committed 16 turnovers in the game to ten for
USMMA.
Camacho came off the bench to lead the
Greyhounds with 15 points, and he was one of three non-starters to reach double
figures in the game. Senior forward Dave
Bowden (Beachwood, NJ/Toms
River South) netted a career high
12 points for Moravian while Painter
had career highs of ten points and seven rebounds in the game. Junior

The win

took a 9-8 lead on a three-pointer from Gerard Mullin while senior forward Dave Bowden hit a jumper to put
Moravian up 10-9 with 15:32 on the clock.
Bowden would give the Greyhounds the
lead for good just over a minute later when he hit a three-pointer at the 14:25
mark putting Moravian up 15-13. Bowden’s
basket started a 10-0 Greyhound run that ended with a three-pointer from

Rebecca Grimes came
off the bench to score a game high 24 points and lead the United States
Merchant Marine Academy women’s basketball team to a 78-69
overtime upset win over nationally ranked Moravian College in Landmark
Conference action.
The Mariners
improve to 12-9 overall and even their Landmark Conference record at 5-5 with
the victory while the Greyhounds, who were ranked 22nd in this week’s USA
Today/ESPN Division III Coaches Top 25 Poll and 23rd in the D3hoops.com
Top 25 Poll, fall to 17-4 overall and 7-3 in Landmark Conference action.
This marks the first time this season that Moravian has lost two straight
games.
The
Greyhounds jumped out to a 2-0 lead on their first possession of the game on a
pair of free throws by junior forward Alyssa
Bisci (Easton, PA/Easton). However, the Mariners would have a 9-4
lead at the 15:49 mark on a lay-up from Hannah Ecko.
Moravian would tie the contest, the third of nine ties in the game which also
saw 13 lead changes, on a lay-up from freshman guard Hilary Murray (Clinton, NJ/North Hunterdon) at the 12:02 marking,
tying the contest at 15-15.
Moravian
would take a 19-17 lead on a jumper from freshman forward Alexandra Blair (Hellertown, PA/Bethlehem Catholic) with 10:34
remaining in the first half, and the Greyhounds would have their largest lead
of the first half after another Blair
jumper at the 9:05 mark to give Moravian a 23-19 edge. USMMA would run
off the next five points to retake the lead on a three-pointer from Kristen Hetsko with 7:08 to go in the first half. Grimes
would connect on a three-pointer with 4:54 before the intermission to help the
Mariners build a 33-26 lead while a free throw from Janay
Weathers with 4:17 left gave USMMA its largest lead of the half at eight
points, 34-26.
Moravian
would put together an 8-1 run to pull within 35-34 with a minute to go in the
half on a jumper from sophomore guard/forward Emily Smith (East Stroudsburg, PA/East Stroudsburg South).
However, USMMA scored the final four points of the half to head to the locker
room with a 39-34 lead.
Both teams
shot the ball well in the first half. Moravian was 15 of 27 from the
floor (55.6 percent), one-for-two on three-pointers and just three of seven at
the foul line in the first 20 minutes. The Greyhounds committed just five
turnovers while forcing the Mariners into eight turnovers. USMMA was 15
of 30 from the field, three of five on three-pointers and six of ten at the
foul line in the first half. The Mariners also had a 21-12 advantage in
rebounds in the first 20 minutes including 9-1 on the offensive boards.
Stephanie
Waller hit a jumper to start the second half to put USMMA up 41-34.
Moravian pulled within a point, 45-44, with 11:24 to play in regulation on a
pair of free throws by Murray.
Less than a minute later, Murray would get the Greyhounds the lead again with a
three-pointer to put Moravian up 47-45. The lead would last just 19
seconds before Grimes connected on a three-pointer of her own to put the
Mariners back on top, 48-47.
The game was
going back-and-forth when the Greyhounds took a 54-52 lead on a pair of Bisci
free throws with 8:01 to play. Moravian would tie its largest lead of the
game, four points, on a jumper from junior guard/forward Kate Harrison (Cold Spring
Harbor, NY/Cold Spring Harbor) at the 7:15 mark and again on a pair of free
throws from junior guard Jessica Foran (Annandale, NJ/Rutgers Prep) with 6:21 left in
regulation to give Moravian a 58-54 lead.
USMMA would
score the next five points to retake the lead, 59-58, on a jumper from May
Marie Hayes at the 4:23 mark. Bisci
answered 16 seconds later with a lay-up to put the Greyhounds back on top,
60-59. Hayes would hit a free throw with 3:12 remaining to give the
Mariners a 61-60 lead before junior guard Amanda
Brown (Schuylkill Haven, PA/Schuylkill Haven) hit a three-pointer with two
minutes to go giving Moravian a 63-61 lead. However, those were the
Greyhounds’ final points of regulation. Hayes would make a pair of free
throws with 1:03 to play to tie the game and eventually force overtime.
Moravian had the ball with less than ten seconds to play but Bisci missed a shot at the end of
regulation.
Both teams
saw their shooting percentages cool off in the second half. The
Greyhounds were just eight for 24 (33.3 percent) from the field, four-for-five
on three-pointers and nine-for-12 at the foul line while the Mariners were nine
of 25 from the floor (36 percent), one of five on three-pointers and five of
nine at the foul line.
USMMA scored
the first five points of the overtime session on a pair of Hayes free throws
and a three-pointer from Grimes. Bisci
hit a pair of free throws at the 2:58 mark to pull Moravian within 68-65, but
two Waller free throws put the Mariners ahead, 73-65, with just a minute to
go. The Greyhounds scored the next four points before USMMA went
three-for-four at the foul line in the final 31 seconds to seal the win.
In the five
minute overtime session, Moravian was just one-for-11 from the floor (9.1
percent), and the Greyhounds were four-for-six at the foul line and missed both
of their three-pointers. On the other hand, USMMA was two-for-three from
the field, one-for-one on three-pointers and ten of 14 at the foul line in the
extra session. The Mariners finished the game with a 46-36 edge in
rebounds while Moravian committed just 11 turnovers in the game while forcing
USMMA into 13 turnovers.
One of the
keys for Moravian was the foul line. The Greyhounds entered the game as
the top free throw shooting team in the nation at 81.3 percent. Moravian
was just 16 of 25 from the line, 64.0 percent, in the game. It was the
first time in 17 games the Greyhounds shot below 70 percent from the line, and
the first time in nine contests that Moravian’s opponent had been to the foul line
more than the Greyhounds. Moravian entered game having
attempted 153 more free throws and having made 173 free throws than its
opponents.
The
Greyhounds had three players in double figures led by Bisci with 13 points and four rebounds. Brown tossed in 11 points to go with three assists, three steals
and three rebounds for Moravian while Smith
reached double figures for the first time this season with ten points to go
with three boards. Harrison
contributed nine points, two rebounds and a pair of blocked shots while Murray
had eight points and two assists for the Greyhounds.
Blair added seven points and five
rebounds off of the Moravian bench while junior forward Lauren Fornazor (Rivervale,
NJ/Pascack Valley) had four points and two
rebounds. Sophomore guard/forward Amy
Heffner (Schnecksville, PA/Parkland) had three points and three rebounds
for the Greyhounds while Foran and junior forward Kirsty Stearns (East Norwich, NY/Oyster Bay), who entered the game combining to score 20 points per game,
were each limited to two points.
Moravian snapped a two-game losing streak by starting the
second half with a 23-2 run as the nationally-ranked Greyhounds ran past Drew
University, 94-53, in Landmark Conference action.
The victory
lifts Moravian’s overall mark to 18-4 on the season, and the squad remains in
second place in the Landmark Conference with an 8-3 mark. The Greyhounds
entered the game ranked 22nd in the nation in this week’s USA Today/ESPN
Division III Top 25 Poll and 23rd in the country in the D3hoops.com Top 25
poll.
Drew,
celebrating its senior day, started the contest with a jumper from Jessica DelVecchio to take a 2-0 lead. Moravian tied the
score at 2-2 on a put back from junior forward Alyssa Bisci. The Rangers would retake the lead and be up 7-2
after an Emma Grossman lay-up at the 18:02 mark and 10-4 on a three-pointer
from DelVecchio with 17:09 left in the first
half. Drew would have a six-point lead, 14-8, after a pair of free throws
from Jessica Reid at the 15:49 mark.
Moravian
then went on a 7-0 run and would take its first lead of the game, 15-14, on a
three-pointer from freshman guard Hilary
Murray with 14:22 to go. DelVecchio would
get the lead right back for Drew but freshman forward Alexandra Blair answered to give the Greyhounds a 17-16 edge.
The Rangers retook the lead, 20-19, at the 9:04 mark on a lay-up from Marissa Maffei, and Drew led 24-21 with 7:20 remaining in the first
half after a DelVecchio three-pointer.
That would
be the Rangers’ final lead of the contest as Moravian went on a 6-0 run to take
the lead for good on a Murray lay-up
with 5:03 left in the half to give the Greyhounds a 27-24 lead. Blair hit a jumper with 1:14 to go
before the intermission to give Moravian its largest lead of the first half,
eight points, at 34-26.
The
Greyhounds headed to the locker room with a 36-33 lead after shooting 14 of 33
from the floor (43.4 percent), one of six on three-pointers and just seven of
13 at the foul line, where Moravian entered the game as the nation’s top free
throw shooting team. Drew had a hot hand in the first 20 minutes, making
12 of 21 field goal attempts (57.1 percent), four of eight three-pointers and
five of six free throws. The Rangers had a 15-14 edge in rebounds;
however, Drew had 17 turnovers in the first 20 minutes while the Greyhounds had
just ten turnovers.
Moravian
started the second half with a 9-0 run with Murray hitting a three-pointer at the 18:11 mark to push the
Greyhound lead to 45-33, the first double digit lead for either team.
Moravian’s run would reach 23-2 with the Greyhounds taking a 59-35 lead on a
pair of free throws from junior guard Jessica
Foran with 12:41 remaining. Moravian’s lead
would reach 30 points, 74-43, on a Blair
jumper with 6:13 to go while the Rangers scored their final points on a jumper
from Victoria Ault with 2:49 remaining.
The
Greyhounds improved their shooting in the second half, connecting on 21 of 34
field goal attempts (61.8 percent), four of eight three-pointers and 12 of 14
free throws in the final 20 minutes. Moravian also finished the game with
a 32-24 advantage in rebounds, and the Greyhounds had 21 turnovers for the game
while forcing Drew into 40 turnovers. The Rangers struggled shooting the
ball in the final 20 minutes, making just seven of 24 field goal attempts (29.2
percent), three of nine three-pointers and three of six free throws in the
second half.
All 14
Greyhound players in uniform played at least five minutes and scored two points
as Moravian used a balanced scoring attack. Bisci and sophomore guard/forward Amy Heffner each had 12 points and three rebounds. Blair tied her career high with 11
points while Murray tossed in ten
points and had a career best six assists for the Greyhounds. Foran, junior
