BOX SCORE

NEW YORK, NY – On Tuesday, November 27^th the men's basketball team played host to the Bearcats of Baruch in their first conference game of the season.  After a tough first half, the Hawks weren't able to catch the Bearcats in the second falling 91-62.  With the loss, the Hawks drop to 2-4, 0-1 CUNYAC while Baruch improves to 3-1, 1-0 CUNYAC.

The young Hawks fell behind early on in the game with the Bearcats dominating the court, connecting on 16-of-25 field goals, including a 3-of-6 from the three point range allowing them to take a 50-24 lead at half time.

The second deemed no better for the Hawks as Baruch never dropped past a 21-point lead.

Hunter was led by sophomore Matthew Hunter who totaled 14 points and two steals.  Junior Lorenzo Brown chipped in with 11 points with eight offensive and two defensive rebounds.

"Baruch was very physical early. We go down big in the first half and couldn't recover.  You can't give up 64% shooting in the first half and beat anyone. We have a long way to go defensively and we will get back to work in practice. I was happy with my team in the second half, we played hard and didn't quit. This was our team's first CUNY game. Until you experience, you just can't explain how hard teams play, how physical the play is and how teams compete."
 
The Hawks are back in action on Friday, November 30^th when they host the Lightning of Lehman College.  Tip off is set for a 6pm start.
