Potsdam Men Lose 2nd Match of Season
Potsdam, NY – The Potsdam Bears were handed their second loss of the season by Brockport in a very physical game yielding 38 total fouls. The final score of the SUNYAC contest was 76-66. The Bears fall to 19-2 (10-2) while Brockport moves to 15-6 (9-4).
The Bears came out of the gate slow and just couldn’t regain the momentum. They fell 16 points behind at the half, but made a strong comeback to pull within 6 with 2 minutes left to play. The Bears wouldn’t get any closer. Junior Clayton (Albany/Manhattan College) led the Bears with 13 points. Jim Connelly (Cayuga/Union Springs) came off the bench and added 12. Eldon Harris (Albany/Albany High) finished with 10.
Brockport used a balanced attack and strong defense to pick up the win. Ben Bellucci (Syracuse/CNS) fell 1 rebound short of a double double with 18 points, 9 boards. Brandon Williams (Rochester/Edison Tech.) finished with 16.
The Bears will play again tomorrow at 4PM against SUNYAC contender Geneseo.
