GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – The New Haven men's basketball team saw its three-game win streak snapped with its first of back-to-back road games going the way of the Adelphi Panthers 74-60 on Tuesday night. With the loss, New Haven falls to 13-5 overall, 10-3 in the Northeast-10 Conference.

Leading the Chargers on the night was senior transfer Ty Perry (Boston, Mass./Brighton) who matched his career-high, set earlier this year against Molloy, with 24 points, shooting 10-of-17 from the field, including four baskets from outside the three-point arc. He also led New Haven with seven rebounds while adding an assist and a steal.

Overall, he was one of two players in double figures, joined by graduate guard Quashawn Lane (Trenton, N.J./Trenton Catholic Academy), the reigning NE10 Player of the Week, who finished with 14 points. Lane finished the game shooting 4-of-9 from the field with a pair of three-pointers and went 4-of-5 from the free throw line. He also added four rebounds and four assists.

Freshman Justin Hendrick (Valley Stream, N.Y./St. Francis) finished one point shy of reaching double figures with all three of his field goals coming from outside the arc. The nine points from Hendrick led New Haven off the bench.

As a team, the Chargers finished the game shooting 40.4 percent from the field, connecting on 21-of-52 field goal attempts, with 12 of those 21 buckets coming from outside the three-point arc. The 12 three pointers is the most in a single game by New Haven this season, while it is the fourth game with 10+ in that column.

The Chargers will return to action on Saturday, closing out their two-game road trip with a visit to Rindge, N.H. for a date with the Franklin Pierce Ravens. Tip off from the Franklin Pierce Field House is set for 3:30 p.m. following the women's game.

FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS

·        Adelphi opened the scoring for both teams with their first of 14 three pointers on the night, that coming 57 seconds into the action. The Panthers would never relinquish that lead.

·        New Haven would manage to tie the score twice in the early going, with a three pointer from Olawoye knotting the score at three and a Ty Perry (Boston, Mass./Brighton) jumper tying the score at five.

·        The Panthers answered the Perry jumper with a three pointer, with the Chargers unable to pull closer than one the remainder of the game.

·        The three pointers continued for New Haven as they pulled withing four just prior to the halfway points of the period when Hendrick drained an outside look thanks to an assist from Perry. The Panthers answered that three pointer by rattling off eight straight to take the first double digit lead of the night at 28-16.

·        New Haven answered that double digit deficit with another three pointer from Hendrick, the second of four-straight three pointers between the two teams as they traded the long range buckets, with the last from Victory Olawoye, putting the score at 31-22.

·        Facing another 12 point deficit at the five minute mark in the half, New Haven looked to make a run down the stretch, using back-to-back buckets to pull within seven, however the Panthers ended the half with a pair of three pointers to take a 43-31 lead into the halftime intermission.

SECOND HALF HIGHLIGHTS

·        The teams traded layups in the first minute of the second half to open things up, but the Panthers answered with back-to-back buckets to take a 16-point lead just over two minutes into the action.

·        Perry and Lane would then go back-to-back to pull within 12 at the 14:31 mark, while New Haven would only get as close as 11 the entire second half that coming at the 3:46 mark when Perry connected from long range thanks to a pass from Lane.

·        The Panthers managed to build its lead to as much as 18 just past the midway points of the half with New Haven answering that deficit with back-to-back field goals from Sean Braithwaite (Center Moriches, N.Y./Center Moriches) and Perry, the first of which from Braithwaite coming from outside the arc.
