SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts - The American International College men's basketball team fell 75-66 to Le Moyne College in a Northeast-10 Conference match on Saturday, February 11.
AIC is now 5-20 overall and 3-14 in the NE10.
Justice Ellison scored AIC's first five points in the early going. Just past the midpoint of the half, Jack Hall drained a three, giving the Yellow Jackets a 17-12 lead, but the Dolphins swam back with 11 of the next 13 before Hall hit another shot from beyond the arc, and repeated it on the next possession. Kanye Wavezwa followed with a triple of his own, helping AIC get to the locker room tied 28-28.
Ellison made the first basket of the second half, but the Dolphins went on a run from there, scoring 10 straight before Aguibou Balde broke the streak. Back-to-back threes from Wavezwa and a triple from Buka Peikrishvili cut the deficit down to one at two different points, but AIC could not tie the game up, and the Dolphins held on for the 75-66 win.
Ellison led AIC with 18 points, while Hall was right behind with 17; Wavezwa had 12, while Jordan had 10 along with eight rebounds.
The team next plays at Southern New Hampshire University on Wednesday, February 15 at 7:30 p.m.
