Paul Smith, NY – Boston Caldwell led all scorers with 21 points to lead the Mustangs to a convincing 80-64 win over Paul Smith College Sunday. After playing the day before in Albany, the Mustangs came up north with an injury ridden roster. Malik Foster and Mpore Semuhoza were both out with groin injuries, Wyatt Hathaway was nursing a bad thumb, Boston has hip issues with a swollen elbow, and Jaeden Henderson was sick at game time. The motto has been all year, "next man up" and the bench didn't disappoint. Kenray Emadamerho (2-4) 4 points, 6 rebounds, and Jonah Mincey (3-4) 6 points with 2 rebounds came off the bench to add a much-needed punch, both on the offensive end and the defensive end as needed! Jeremiah Simeon added 8 points with 4 rebounds.
CM took off early and never trailed taking a 40-27 lead into halftime.
Despite Anthony Henson (9-20) 26 points, the Bobcats could not get anything going in the second half. Ten Mustangs contributed double digit minutes to keep fresh bodies on the court and allowed the starters to get valuable breaks.
Coach Gonyea states, "This was a total team effort. Our bench guys stepped up big today and gave us some great minutes. We had three guys in double figures with DeMarco dominating the glass. I was pleased with our execution and ability to adapt all game."
The Mustangs have a week off and travel to NHTI on Saturday.
