Scots Storm Past Nor'easters, 76-72

Gordon College Men's Basketball welcomed the University of New England Nor'easters (UNE) for a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) matchup tonight on Kanas Court. The Fighting Scots controlled the tempo en route to a 76-72 victory over the visitors to pick up their second CCC win of the season.

David Massillon recorded a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, Parker Omslaer also played his way to a double-double with 12 points and 11 boards, and Garrett Sattazahn netted 11 points while bringing down eight rebounds.

For the visitors, Alex Kravchuk had a game-high 43 points while Mark Rella contributed 14 points in the effort.

How It Happened
  • Gordon raced out to a 9-2 lead in the opening minutes, before UNE crawled their way back to take a short lived 14-13 lead. The Scots immediately recovered their advantage thanks to a layup from Caleb Scott, leading to a six point run (19-14) before the Nor'easters could find the net. Soon after, the Fighting Scots worked for their biggest lead of the game so far (26-18), with 8:24 left in the first.
  • While UNE once again made an effort to break through, coming within three points a few times in the remaining minutes thanks to the fiery efforts of Kravchuk, however the Scots continued to hit their shots and dug deep to end the half on top with an eight point lead (42-34).
  • Continually increasing their lead to open up the second half, Gordon led by as many as 13 thanks to a three from Sattazahn followed by a three from Treyton Tebbs (59-46) with 13:21 left on the clock. In similar fashion to early in the first half, the Nor'easters battled back and came within four points twice within a two minute span with four and a half minutes of regulation. However, Zach Quanico so much as iced it by hitting a three to extend the Scots' lead to seven before Gordon went 5-6 from the charity stripe in the final minutes to secure the 76-72 W.

Beyond The Box Score
  • The Fighting Scots hit the road for their next CCC contest as they travel to Dudley, Mass. for a 3 p.m. tip-off against the Nichols College Bison.
  • Both David Massillon and Parker Omslaer earned their first double doubles of the season.
