Auburn, ME – First-year forward Khaden Moore scored a career-high 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the CMCC men's basketball squad to a 93-81 win over the Roxbury Community College Tigers for the team's first victory of the season.

Wyatt Hathaway contributed 20 points behind five three-pointers while point guard Will Duke had a game-high nine assists to go along with 11 points. Five Mustangs total finished in double digits scoring with Rocco Chang (12) and J.T. Pound (10) getting in on the act.

Roxbury took the lead with a three by Michael Correia and a lay-up by Adiel Escobar. But when Da'Vohn Jonas threw down a dunk to make it 6-5 with 2:21 gone, CMCC had the lead for good, never trailing over the final 37:39.

Hathaway was lights out early on, knocking down all five of his made treys in the first half as Central Maine opened up a 52-39 lead at the break. Moore divided his points evenly between the two halves, going 6-for-8 from the floor in the first 20 minutes and shooting 5-for-9 with two free throws after the intermission.

Chang sunk a free throw to make it 71-52 with 12:14 left in the contest to give the Mustangs their biggest lead of the night up 19. The Tigers slowly made their way back getting to within seven points of their hosts with 5:20 left before Central Maine reextended the lead.
