Box Score

The men's basketball team suffered their first conference loss of the season on Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals of York College in Jamaica, New York.

The two teams played a very low-scoring contest and struggled shooting from the field, but the Cardinals managed to hold on to a four point lead in the final minute by hitting two of three free throws to pull out the 50-49 win on Senior Day.

The Bearcats' defense did not allow a field goal by the Cardinals in the final four minutes, but they could not match their defensive intensity on the offensive end by tying a season-low 34 percent shooting (17-for-50) from the field to suffer their first CUNYAC loss.

Ryan Markoe and Bryler Paige led the team with 10 points each. Granville Gittens grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots.

Ryan St. John led the home team with 11 points (3-for-5 3fg).

The Bearcats will continue their schedule on Tuesday, February 10, with a 7:00 pm CUNYAC contest at The City College of New York.
