Hawks Drop Conference Battle to Lions

HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert Men's Basketball dropped its third straight conference game this evening with a 71-55 defeat at the hands of the Penn State Behrend Lions. The Hawks scored eight less points than Behrend in each half to suffer the 16-point loss.
 

HIGHLIGHTS
 
Jahmel Demery and Edward Perez led the way in the scoring column for the Hawks in this one. The duo combined to score 60 percent of the team's points in the contest, with 17 and 16 points, respectively.
 
Quran Briggs scored eleven points to add to his career total and move just 15 points away from 1,000 in his career.
 
Justin Poumpey did it all for the Hawks with four points, four assists, four rebounds, and a pair of steals.

HOW IT HAPPENED 
 
  • Hilbert grabbed an early lead on a layup from Briggs exactly one minute into the contest, but a quick answer on a three-pointer erased what would be the Hawks' only lead of the game.
  • The Lions scored 15 straight points to give them an early 17-4 advantage.
  • Behrend held a double-digit lead for much of the first half, but a late push by Hilbert made it an eight-point advantage heading into the halftime break.
  • The Lions came out of the break determined to hold onto the lead, scoring the first seven points of the second half.
  • A quick 5-0 run from Briggs brought the lead back down to eight. Hilbert cut the lead to as little as six points, but the Lions refused to let the game get any closer.
  • A 12-0 run extended the lead to 18 points and all but put this one away with 6:39 to go.
  • The teams traded buckets to end the contest and give the Lions the 16-point road conference victory.
 
 
GAME NOTES 
 
Hilbert held the lead for just eleven seconds in the contest, playing from behind for most of the night.
Behrend used sizeable advantages in bench points (13-5), points off turnovers (20-13), and points in the paint (32-22) to control the game.
 
 
UP NEXT
The Hawks will look to get back in the win column when they head to Mount Aloysius on Saturday for a conference bout with the Mounties. Tip off is set for 3 PM at the Convocation & Wellness Center.
