BOSTON, Mass. - The Endicott College men’s basketball team won their second straight contest on Wednesday night as the Gulls traveled to Boston, Mass. and defeated the Emmanuel College Saints, 72-59, in non-conference action. The Gulls improve to 5-6 overall while the Saints fall to 1-7. TCCC Rookie of the Week \#Lance Greene\# (Dorchester, Mass.) led all scorers with 26 points to pace the Gulls.
The Saints came out of the gates and took an early 5-0 lead with a three-ball and two free throws from Xavier Everson (Rochester, N.Y.). Two Endicott baskets by \#Aaron Karkow\# (Uncasville, Conn.) and Greene brought the score to 5-4 in favor of the Saints. Back-to-back buckets in the paint by Emmanuel’s sophomore guard Isaiah Duke (Albany, N.Y.) put the Saints up, 9-4 with 16:29 remaining in the half.
The Gulls tied the contest at 9-9 with an elbow jumper from Endicott’s junior center \#Justin Martin\# (Cromwell, Conn.). Another hoop in the paint by Martin gave the Gulls their first lead of the game at 11-9 and Endicott never looked back. Martin’s baskets were part of a 14-0 Endicott run that spanned three and a half minutes as the Gulls led, 18-9, with 12:57 remaining in the half.
The Gulls began to pull away and led by as many as 12 points with two minutes to go in the half. The Saints received a couple of lay-ups from Everson late in the frame and Endicott was able to take an eight point lead, 35-27, into the locker room at halftime.
Greene led all scorers at the break with 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting for Endicott. Duke was the high scorer for the Saints with 10 points and three boards. Everson had a near double-double at the half with nine points and a game-high 10 rebounds for Emmanuel.
Endicott went on an 8-0 run to open the second half and led, 43-27, forcing an Emmanuel timeout with 17:39 remaining. The Saints came out of the timeout and got a quick jumper from Torrey Joyner (Bridgeport, Conn.) to bring the margin to 43-29. \#Lance Greene\# sparked another Endicott 8-0 spurt, rattling off five quick points in thirty seconds with a trifecta and a fastbreak lay-up, to put the Gulls on top, 50-29 with 14:31 left to play.
The Gulls stretched the margin to as many as 28 points midway through the second half, leading 59-31, after a trey by \#Mike Rhodes\# (Amston, Conn.). Emmanuel then went on a run of their own, scoring 13 unanswered points and cutting the deficit to 15 points at 59-44 with 7:01 showing on the clock.
Emmanuel was able to chip away at the Gulls’ lead and managed to trim the margin to 10 points, 67-57 with just over a minute to go. Greene and senior guard \#Bobby Montrond\# (Brockton, Mass.) knocked down their free throws in the final minute and Endicott came away with the 72-59 win.
Greene led all scorers with 26 points on 10-16 shooting. In a solid 35-minute effort, the rookie also hauled in 6 rebounds, gathered 5 steals and dished out 4 assists. Sophomore center \#Erik Callo\# (Southington, Conn.) added 9 points and a game-high 4 blocked shots, while Martin grabbed a team-high 8 boards for the Gulls.
Duke was the high man for the Saints with 16 points and 9 rebounds. Everson finished with 9 points, a game-high 14 boards and 5 assists. Ramsey and Mailhot combined for 18 points in the effort.
The Blue and Green return to action on Saturday as the Gulls begin conference play with a TCCC matchup against Eastern Nazarene in Quincy, Mass. at 3:00 p.m. Emmanuel will resume GNAC action on Saturday as the Saints will take on Saint Joseph’s College at 2:00 p.m.
