Chargers out-score Ravens in
second half after trailing at halftime
COLCHESTER, Vt. (November
18, 2006) - The University of New Haven defeated Franklin
Pierce, 73-59, in day two action of the Doubletree Hotels Doc
Jacobs Classic, hosted by Saint Michael's College, at Ross Sports
Center this afternoon.
New Haven held Franklin Pierce to
just 25.9-percent (7-of-27) shooting in the second half, including
0-11 from three-point range to turn a one-point halftime deficit
(35-34) into a 14-point win. The Chargers also out-rebounded the
Ravens 41-29.
Freshman Cassius Chaney
(Old Saybrook, Conn./Old Saybrook) led four New Haven
players in double-figures with 20 points, on 8-of-15 shooting off
the bench, and nine rebounds. Junior Carl Campbell
(Landover, Md./Cecil CC) added 17 points, while classmate
Tetrick Stonar (Hartford, Conn.) netted 16 points.
Freshman Darryl Greene (Clinton, Md./Bishop
McNamara) chipped in with 11 points, four rebounds, four
assists and four steals.
Sophomore Timothy Munch
(Blauvelt, N.Y./Storm King Prep) led Franklin Pierce with
a season-high 20 points, hitting 9-of-18 from the field, three
rebounds and two blocks. Senior captain Sean Mayo (Saco,
Maine/Thornton Academy) collected his first double-double
of the season with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds (five
offensive) to go with four blocks. Senior Nazim Senaldi
(Istanbul, Turkey) contributed 12 points, five rebounds
and three steals off the bench.
Franklin Pierce led by as much as
seven (27-20) in the first half after a Munch layup with 9:20 to
play in the stanza, but settled for a one-point edge (35-34) at the
break. New Haven quickly took its first lead of the second half
after a pair of Campbell free throws 43-seconds in, but the Ravens
regained the lead (41-40) after a Darryl Minnifield
(Boston, Mass./Brookline) jumper with 14:57 to play.
The lead went back and forth until
New Haven used an 11-0 run to open a ten-point lead (56-46) with
7:04 left. Chaney sparked the run with six of the Chargers 11
points. Franklin Pierce closed within six (56-50) after a Senaldi
jumper with 5:07 on the clock, but that would be as close as the
Ravens would get the rest of the way.
Franklin Pierce (1-1, 0-0 NE-10)
opens its Northeast-10 Conference schedule on Tuesday at Assumption
College at 7:30 p.m. New Haven (1-1, 0-0 ECC) faces host Saint
Michael's College tomorrow at 3 p.m.
