Marauders Drop Non-Conference Matchup
11/28/2015 8:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Wilmington, Del. – The Millersville men's basketball team dropped its third consecutive game as the Goldey-Beacom Lightning used a hot-shooting second half for a 70-54 victory at the Jones Center on Saturday afternoon.
Millersville (2-4) jumped out to a 15-0 lead within the first seven minutes of the non-conference matchup. The outstanding run was spearheaded by guard Cornell Yarde II who knocked down consecutive 3-pointers forcing a Lightning timeout at the 13:16 mark. Yarde II finished with a team-high 15 points and was 6-of-14 from the field. The Schuylkill Valley product added seven rebounds and a game-high three steals.
The Lightning finished the half outscoring Millersville 21-6, forging a 21-21 tie into the halftime break. Goldey-Beacom shot 6-of-14 from the floor and limited the Marauders to only 2-of-16 while forcing 11 turnovers. Junior guard Shakeem Wilson scored six points during that span.
Goldey Beacom's offense opened the second half scorching from the field, scoring 16-staight points to turn a three-point deficit into a 41-28 lead with 13:04 remaining. Khalil Keel and fellow junior Parris Ridgeway-Higgs scored five points within the run which GBC shot 6-of-8 and hit all four of its three-point attempts.
The 13-point cushion was enough for the Lightning as they coasted to the 71-54 victory. Shakeem Wilson finished with a game-high 22 points and shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line while scoring 16 second half points.
Demerik Weglinski had 11 points and 13 rebounds with Shawn Williams scoring 11 points for the Marauders, who shot 34 percent (19-of-56) from the floor and only were 4-of-25 from 3-point range.
Millersville returns to the friendly confines of Pucillo Gymnasium for a much needed home game on Tuesday, December 1. The Marauders are slated to play Kutztown with a 7:30 p.m. tip.
