CHMABERSBURG, PA - In today's tightly contested game the Wilson College men's basketball team fell to NEAC opponent SUNY Polytechnic 92-84.

The Wildcats (9-6, 6-2 NEAC) had the first basket of the game, a lay-up from Peyton Griffiths. The Phoenix (4-11, 4-7 NEAC) then scored a three-pointer that came from the hands of junior Marquise Beckett (Randallstown, Md.) with sophomore Ian Frazier (Palmyra, Pa.) on the assist. A jump shot from senior Marquis Nelson (Hagerstown, Md.) gave the Phoenix the lead for the first time of the game with 10:07 left in the first half. Senior Kasdan Holder (Zebulon, N.C.) made an impressive offensive attack, getting the rebound from his own missed shot to score a lay-up. Kevin Williams of the Wildcats responded with a lay-up of his own, but junior Keion Adams (Gaithersburg, Md.) took back the lead with a three-pointer assisted by sophomore Dominique Walker (Smyrna, DE). The two teams exchanged the lead six times each in the first half. The Wildcats scoring percentage was 55.6% while the Phoenix's percentage was 43.3%, but the score remained a close 44-42 Wildcats at halftime.
