| | No. 3 Connecticut College remains unbeaten Connecticut College, ranked first in the Northeast and No. 3 in the nation, received a strong second-half surge from sophomore guard Kareem Tatum as the Camels held on to defeat Colby, 63-56, Saturday in NESCAC action.
The victory marked the first for Connecticut College in seven trips to Waterville. The win also preserves the Camels' perfect record at 14-0. Colby falls to 10-6.
Colby senior co-captain James Spidle scored 12 of his game-high 18 points in the first half, when the White Mules built a 27-20 lead. However, the Camels finished the half with a 6-0 spurt to pull within one at the break. Tatum hit two free throws and a scoop shot in the lane to cut the Colby lead to 27-26 at intermission.
The Mules came out firing in the second half, when freshman point guard Joe Gutierrez capped an 11-5 run with a three-pointer to give Colby its largest lead of the contest, 38-31. A three-point play and a lay-up by Tatum sparked a 13-0 run for Conn College, which took a 44-38 lead with 13 minutes left. Colby drew to within two points after a pair of Gutierrez foul shots made it 48-46, but the White Mules got no closer as the Camels used solid defense to build a 60-50 lead on their way to the eventual victory.
Tatum finished with 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting, while freshman Rich Futia added 10 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut College. Gutierrez scored a career-high nine points in just 10 minutes of play for Colby, while junior Ken Allen added 16 points and a team-leading eight rebounds.

| | Mass-Dartmouth asst. returns to Greek pro league Basketball has taken Stefan Pagios all over the world. Tuesday night, he was sitting along side Mass-Dartmouth basketball coach Brian Baptiste for the Corsairs' Little East Conference game against Rhode Island College. Four nights later, Pagios will be in Fillipos, Greece, playing professional basketball again. After three seasons in Greece, following an outstanding career at Mass-Dartmouth, Pagios returned to the Corsairs as an assistant basketball coach at the beginning of the 1998-99 season. Pagios had decided against returning to Greece for a fourth season and, instead, returned to school and started his coaching career.
But his old team from Filipos put out a call to last year's point guard, asking him to return. Without Pagios, one of the Greek Professional Basketball League's top scorers and three-point shooters last season, Filipos found itself at the bottom of its division during the early part of its season. Unless the team's fortunes improved, the team was looking at a potential demotion into a lower level at the end of the season. After discussing the matter with Baptiste earlier this week, Pagios decided to step down from his assistant coaching position and return to Greece for the remainder of the season.
"He got a call from his old team and they made him a very good offer to return," said Baptiste. "I guess they realized they needed Stefan more than thought at the beginning of the season. It's a great opportunity for him and probably his last chance to play basketball professionally. I wished him all the luck in the world."
A two-time Little East Conference player of the year, Pagios played for four seasons with the Corsairs. He earned three First Team All-Little East Conference all star honors, while leading the Corsairs to four consecutive LEC championships. Following his senior season, Pagios, a resident of Pawtucket, R.I., was selected ECAC Northeast Region Division III Player of the Year and NABC First Team All-North East District, as well as an honorable mention All-American. Another former Corsair player, Mosadi Caldwell, who was serving as a volunteer assistant coach this season, will take over for Pagios for the remainder of the season. |
