New York, N.Y. – The Stevens Institute of Technology men's basketball team shot over 50 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three-point range in each half Tuesday night in a 97-74 win over Baruch.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After conceding the opening basket of the game, Stevens reeled off 13 straight and 19 of 21 for a 19-4 advantage just past five minutes gone;
Evan Gutowski had seven points during that stretch. The Bearcats crawled back to 19-10, but the Ducks pushed things back to 32-18 at the 8:29 mark;
Harmehar Chhabra had five for the Ducks over that nearly four-and-a-half-minute stretch. The lead fluctuated between 12 and 15 over the majority of the remainer of the half, with a late layup from
Kyle Maddison and a Chhabra jumper putting Stevens up 53-35 at the half; Scholl finished the opening 20 with 15 points, Chhabra had 10, Maddison had seven, and
Peter Gray had six. As a team, the Ducks shot 59.4 percent and recorded assists on 16 of their 19 made field goals.
Maddison reached double figures with a three in the opening seconds of the second half, the first of a trifecta of three-balls from the Ducks in the first three minutes – Chhabra and Scholl each adding one – as the Ducks opened a 64-43 cushion with 17:15 left. Those three combined for the Ducks' next 10 points as Stevens opened its largest lead of the game, 74-49, at the 14:04 mark.
The Bearcats pulled back within 12, 79-67, with 7:22 left, but layups from Scholl and
Anthony Loscalzo plus a Chhabra hook shot in a span of four possessions pushed the lead back to 18, 85-67, with 5:41 left. Stevens maintained at least a 15-point lead the rest of the way, finishing the game shooting 56.5 percent from the floor.
