Saturday, Jan. 25 the Men’s Cavaliers laced their shoes for battle away against the Keystone College the Cavaliers pulled off a 10 point victory against the Giants.
The win is nothing new for the Mens Cavs who are ranked second in the nation, continuing there undefeated record of 10-0 in the conference and 16-0 overall.
Despite the final score showing a double digit win, the men started out flat falling behind 6 points within the first minutes of the game.
In a interview with senior Fran Rafferty he attributes the slow start to unfocused defense and the teams inability to make stops.
Rafferty said, “We just started slow, we took a nearly 3 hour bus trip and had a little over a half hour to get ready to play. But when were playing as national contenders there’s no room for excuses! We just have to fight through it and play to the best of our abilities. I think if we do that we’ll be fine.”
With poise and a igniter three pointer from sophomore, forward Brad Fagan, the Cavs then went on a 15-0 attack.
It was an offensive type of night with four out of five starters contributing with double digits. Freshman, three game starter, Matt Forrest scored a career high 16 points, with three consecutive three balls.
The Keystone Giants also had players contribute double digits with a starter scoring 27 points. Despite his own efforts it could not outshine the works of golden boy Aaron-Walton Moss who contributed 27 points, 9 rebounds, 7assists, 2blocks and 4 steals.
Walton-Moss was also recently named the Colonial States Athletic Conference Honor Roll for the third time this season. The efforts of Walton-Moss are in tandem with the teams overall goals to win the CSAC conference for the fifth year running and eventually take that sweet trip to the dance.
The Men’s Cavaliers will hit the wood again away at Gywnedd Mercy on Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. The Griffins are 9-1 in conference play. The game will be a rematch from a early game in Dec. where the Cavs took the victory.
