Bridgewater State 81, Mount Ida 60

Bridgewater, MA - Bears Corral Mustangs, 81-60 — In non-conference men’s basketball action this evening, the host Bears, behind a 25 point, 11 rebound effort from junior David Rukstalis (Norwood, MA), defeated the Mustangs of Mount Ida College, 81-60, from the Adrian Tinsley Center.

Seniors Matt Badiali (Raynham, MA) and Peter Santos (Fairhaven, MA) pitched in with 15 and 12 points respectively for the Bears. Senior center Mike Rondeau (South Easton, MA) played very well, with nine points and nine rebounds.

Junior Scott Chamberlain (Millis, MA) led Mount Ida with a double-double of his own, dropping 13 points to go along with 11 rebounds. Sophomore Andreas Vasiliu (Newton, MA) added 13 points, while sophomore Curtis Gadles (Pembroke, MA) chipped in with 12 points and six boards.

Despite what proved to be an up-tempo game, neither team shot particularly well. Bridgewater State connected on 28 of 77 attempts from the floor (36%). To their credit, however, the Bears were a solid 16 of 21 (76%) from the charity stripe. The Mustangs struggled, especially from the free throw line (11-19, 58%), and from three point land (1-13, 8%).

The Bears are back in action on Saturday as they go down the road to Norton, Massachusetts to take on the the Lyons of Wheaton College. Mount Ida is off until next Tuesday when they play host to the Lancers of Worcester State College.
