CRESSON, PA – Trevor Stark's 31 points led the Hawks in scoring but all eyes were at the foul line with six seconds left in the game.  Jordan Kumro gave Hilbert their 77-76 come-from behind Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference road win to improve to 18-3 overall and the important 12-2 AMCC record in men's basketball tonight. 

The Hawks continue to hold the best league record and will battle for the right to host the AMCC Final Four in two weekends as the number one seeded team.  Mount Aloysius  slipped to 7th place with a 6-8 league record (9-11 overall).

Trevor Stark and Nick Nadeau (19 points) each shot better than 50% from the floor hitting a combined 20 of 34 shots and going 7 for 11 from deep.  Their 51 points carried Hilbert the entire game, but it came down to the last point put on the board which the fans remember. 

Jerame Owens added four points late in the game and knotted the score at 77 before Kumro made one for the win.

Dillon Bender netted 24 points (7 for 13 and hitting 5 of 9 3-pt shots, plus 5 of 6 at charity stripe) for the hosts.   Hilbert held Shawn Greenfield well below his scoring average as he finished with 11 points.

Hilbert found themselves down by 12 points at the break and had to battle to get back in the game.  They came out on fire, hitting 59% of their shots (20-34 from the floor and 5 of 11 beyond the arc).  Stark's 3-point bucket scored at 9:01 in the second half knotted the game,  giving him his 17th second-half point.  The Mounties regained their lead and held it until 4:53 when Stark answered the call again, giving Hilbert their second to last lead of the game.   

Mount Aloysius' Nolan Doyle scored a layup with 1:43 but 15-seconds later Owens filled his last bucket before hitting one of the two freebies from the charity stripe to tie the game at 77. 

The Mounties Greenfield missed two shots before Kumro went to the line for the win with six seconds left on the game clock. 

After a Mount Aloysius timeout, Greenfield took an in-bounds pass and was able to get a desperation shot off before the horn sounded.  It fell to the right of the rim and Hilbert escaped with a huge win on the road.

Jerame Owens led with 14 rebounds and Stark added four steals and four assists.  CJ Hodge is creaping closer to climbing the ladder in the  career assist record as his five assists trim the difference today.

The Hawks return to action Wednesday, February 12 when they travel to Pitt-Bradford for a 6pm tip.  Hilbert then returns to Hamburg next weekend to honor CJ Hodge and celebrate his senior game against Pitt-Greensburg with a 1pm tip.
