Scots Cap Off Season In CCC Quarterfinals Against No. 1 Bison

After topping off their regular season with a big Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) win against the now No. 2 ranked Western New England Golden Bears, Gordon College Men's Basketball kicked off conference playoffs tonight as they traveled to Dudley, Massachusetts to square up against the No. 1 seeded Nichols College Bison for the CCC Quarterfinal round. The Fighting Scots came out seeking revenge tonight, starting off hot with a nine-point lead heading into the half before a Bison comeback boosted Nichols over the Scots, 96-84. 

Garrett Sattazahn capped off his senior season, leading the Scots with a game-high 27 points and eight rebounds while Zach Quanico and Treyton Tebbs added 16 and 15 points in the effort, respectively.

The hosts were guided by Quincy Ferebee who recorded 23 points followed by Tilquan Rucker and Jakigh Dottin who booked 20 points each followed by Tavon Jones who net 19 points. 

How It Happened
  • The Scots wasted no time getting ahead, as a Quanico basket from behind the arc gave Gordon the first sizable six-point lead of the game at the 15:57 mark (11-5). Gordon was able to hold their advantage until a nine-point run from the Bison flipped the script as Nichols took the 25-23 lead with less than ten minutes remaining in the half, however, the Fighting Scots were quick to regain their edge as Tebbs sunk one from downtown before landing a layup to bring the score to 28-25. The Bison attempted to close the gap but the Scots were on a roll, going on a commanding 13-point point rally which was catalyzed by a Sattazahn three (46-31) before heading into the second half up, 50-41. 
  • The Bison outscored the Scots 8-2 to open up the second half to come within one (51-52) before eventually pulling ahead, 54-53 after a Rucker three at the 16:20 mark. However, Nichols swiftly retook a six-point edge (60-54). Meanwhile, the Fighting Scots attempted to close the gap in the last 12 minutes, coming within three after a layup from Tebbs (59-62), but the Bison turned up the heat, eventually gaining a 13-point lead that they would not relinquish as they sealed the eventual 96-84 win over the Scots.
