Box Score

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (January 11, 2014) – Despite 15 points from junior guard Sean Corley (Harlem, N.Y./Thurgood Marshall Academy), the Maritime Privateers basketball team dropped a Skyline Conference matchup to the Mount St. Mary Knights on Saturday afternoon by the score of 92-53.
 
Aside from Corley's team-leading 15-point output, the Privateers also got double-figures with 11 points from sophomore guard Tim McNamara (Somerville, N.J./Somerville). Corley also led the team in rebounds as he fell just one shy of a double-double with nine boards.
 
One key difference in the score was points in the paint in which the Knights controlled much of the play in the key as they outscored the Privateers 44-16 while close to the basket.
 
Mount St. Mary took the first lead of the game with a basket 48 seconds into the contest, but the Privateers responded as Corley tipped in a shot to even the game at a bucket. The Knights rattled off an 8-0 run and didn't turn back and eventually took a 25-point lead into the halftime break at 47-22.
 
The Knights continued their strong play throughout the remainder of regulation and completed the game with the 39-point victory.
 
In addition to Corley and McNamara reaching double-figures in terms of points, the Privateers also got eight points out of junior guard T'Vaughn Gibson (Freeport, Bahamas/Sunland Baptist Academy) and six points out of freshman Kevin Heine (Frederick, Md./Oakdale).
 
Looking to snap its two-game skid, Maritime (3-9, 1-4 Skyline) will welcome in nationally ranked Purchase on Tuesday evening at Riesenberg Gym. Mount St. Mary (9-4, 5-1 Skyline) will look to keep its winning ways intact and go for seven wins in an eight-game span on Tuesday evening when the Knights take on NYU-Poly in Brooklyn.
