Albany, NY - The men's basketball team took on the Five Towns College Sound on Saturday afternoon in a very thrilling game.
The Panthers came out roaring, hitting a total of seven threes in the first half, led by Logan Yohe (Delmar, NY) who hit 5 of them off the bench. Alex Carrillo (Akron, OH) added 12 points on a perfect 5/5 shooting while the Panthers had 19 assists on all 19 made shots in the first half. Yohe and Carrillo combined for 29 points, which was more than the 28 put up by the Sound in the first half who found themselves in a 23-point deficit.
In the second half, the ball movement and excellent shooting only continued. Yohe would go on to make two more three-pointers to finish the game with 25 points while Brett Richards (Kinderhook, NY) finished with yet another double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds to go along with 3 blocks. The Panthers had 6 different players finish with at least 4 assists, led by Michael Leak (Delanson, NY) who had 6. Jalon Munoz (Helotes, TX) continued his hot start to the season finishing with 15 points, the second highest total on the team.
The team finished with an outstanding 29 assists on 36 made shots in a 96-75 victory against Five Towns College. "It feels great," Yohe said after the game when asked about his career night, "Feels great to get the W to be honest… basketball is a game of confidence; just gotta stay confident and trust my ability to make a shot when I shoot it."
Yohe's 7 made threes are tied for the 4th most in a single game and his 25 points are the second highest total in his young career.
The Panthers return to action tomorrow afternoon when they take on SUNY ESF at 2:00 PM at home.
