Demers, Terry Pace Scots To 75-71 W Over RWU

Traveling to Bristol, Rhode Island this afternoon to take on Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) foe the Roger Williams Hawks, Gordon College Men's Basketball edged the RWU Hawks by a score of 75-71. The Fighting Scots improve to 7-6 (2-3 CCC), while the Hawks fall to 10-5 and 2-4 in league action.

Eric Demers scored a game-high 32 points, Aljernod Terry nearly booked a double-double with 18 points and eight rebounds, and Parker Omslaer added 10 points and eight boards.

For the Hawks, Rich Pugliese (Sr./Middlebury, Conn.) had 17 points, while Ej Nelson (Fr./Essex Junction, Vt.) and Drew Hart (Jr./Chesire, Conn.) both registered 13 points, respectively.

How It Happened
  • The Scots were on top for much of the first half, leading by as many as seven before Pugliese hit a three-pointer to put his squad on top for the first time since the Hawks netted the first bucket of the game at the 11:09 mark.
  • Terry answered with a jumper to regain the one-point lead before the Hawks went on top for the remainder of the half, taking a 44-39 advantage heading into halftime.
  • Demers had the hot hand coming out of the locker room as the senior recorded the first nine points of the half for the Scots to take a two-point lead.
  • At the 13:28 mark, Terry aggressively grabbed the offensive rebound before tipping it in to put Gordon up by seven.
  • Midway through the half, the Hawks capitalized after getting fouled on back-to-back three-point attempts, going 6-6 from the line to cut the lead to two.
  • RWU came within a point, but the Scots did not relinquish the lead down the stretch as Gordon took the eventual four-point victory.

Beyond The Box Score
  • Aljernod Terry Booked a career-high 18 points.
  • Eric Demers has scored 30 points or more in 10 games this season.
  • Said Head Coach Tod Murphy: "This was our best defensive game of the season. With the effort that we gave tonight, and scoring ability our team possesses, I feel we can beat anyone. This was a great team win that the entire team could enjoy, because they left it all out on the floor. I'm very proud of our guys."
