We were successful last night in getting our first home win against Colgate Raiders. This is our second win of the season and we are really starting to come together. Our freshman are building momentum as they are gaining a lot of experience. Chavaughn Lewis emerged as a strong player recording his career high 23 points, shooting 47% from the field. This was a great accomplishment for him after making the Mohegan Sun All Tournament Team. Other freshman such as Manny Thomas proved to be integral parts of the team as he also recorded a career high 13points and wowed the crowed with a thunderous dunk. Thomas has brought a lot of energy as he causes a lot of charges on defense. Junior Devin Price has been consistent as he recorded 12 points and a team high 5 assists. He has consistently averaged 11.12 points a game while, leading the team in assist. Sophomore Adam Kemp recorded 8 points and 10 rebounds proving to be a dominant force inside. Overall, this was a big win for the Marist Basketball program and we hope to build upon it as we take on in conference foe Loyola University on Thursday December 1 down in Maryland. We are now 2-4.
