Medaille Sports

The Medaille College men’s basketball season opened on their home floor as SUNY Cobleskill came to the Sullivan Center for a non-conference game.  They would find out that the road can be a tough place as the Mavs rolled past them (70-32).  A combination of stifling defense and quality shooting led the Mavs to victory.  The first half was an epic struggle for Cobleskill as they only managed to score ten points, as they trailed (32-10) at the break.  Medaille shot (47.2%) from the floor for the game and they forced the Fighting Tigers into difficult shots all night long.  It was a total team effort for Medaille as (13 of 14) players found their way into the scoring ledger.  Junior, transfer, Ben Kopp (Franklinville, NY/Franklinville)(pictured) finished tied with a game high (11) points on (4 of 5) shooting, he also pulled down (5) boards.  Junior, Keith Hack (Hopewell Junction, NY/John Jay) also tallied (11) points, while sophomore, Ricky Reed (Rochester, NY/Rush-Henrietta) had a strong all around performance with (8) points, a game high (7) rebounds and (3) assists. The Mavs are (1-0) for the year and they will head across town to take part in the Ad Pro Sports Classic hosted by D’Youville College on Friday (11/21), they will take on Green Mountain College at 6:00pm.
