Deylon Bovell (Brooklyn, NY) scored a season high 30 points on Thursday night as the Genesee Community College men’s basketball team defeated Mercyhurst North East for the second time this season.
The Cougars built a 15 point, 19-4 lead about seven minutes in with Michael Glenn (Fairport, NY) scoring seven points, including an old fashion three-point play, in the early going. GCC kept their 15 point cushion and had a 33-18 lead with eight minutes to go before the Saints made a push and drew within nine to close the half. Genesee led 48-39 at the break.
The Saints kept pace during the start of the second half and were within seven before the Cougars took control, going on a 7-0 run at one point and scoring 19 of the next 26 points. GCC never had a lead drop below 14 and cruised to the 21-point, 102-81 victory.
