Mustangs Clash With Conference Foe
Stevenson, Md.- In their second conference home game of the season, the Mustangs (2-6, 1-3) faced former Villa Julie men's basketball assistant coach Jeb Barber and the Gallaudet Bison (1-7, 1-3), looking to improve their record in the Capital Athletic Conference.
The Mustangs got off to a slow start, as the Bison went on a 7-0 run. The Mustangs attempted to close the scoring gap by turning up the intensity on defense. After a steal by starting guard Chaise Lancaster (Bowie, MD/Northwestern) and a three-pointer from Greg Woody (Baltimore, MD/Mt. St. Joseph) to complete the fast break, the Mustangs were down by four with just over five minutes off the game clock.
In the second half, the Mustangs kept a steady pace, determined to gain control of the scoreboard. But hard work from the Bison's offense put the Mustangs behind 10 points at 53-43 midway through the period.
Although the Mustangs continued to fight, the Bison held on to their lead to finish the half and defeat the Mustangs 77-67. Woody led the team's effort to win, scoring a total of 25 points; Mike Turner (Baltimore, MD/Polytechnic) added another 14; and Greg Collins (Baltimore, MD/Western Tech.) added 12 points to the Mustangs' total score. Leading the team in rebounds was Anatoly Smoklin (Baltimore, MD/Pikesville) with a total of five.
For their next challenge, the Mustangs head to Towson University to face Catholic at 7 p.m. on Dec. 16.
