Hot Shooting Knights Down Marywood in Men's Basketball Return

Scranton, Pa. - Hot-shooting Neumann University spoiled Marywood University's men's basketball return to the hardcourt as the Knights, who shot 61%, downed Marywood 85-66 in Atlantic East action Saturday afternoon.

It was the Pacers (5-8, 0-1 AEC) first contest in nearly a month (25 days), as Marywood saw several cancellations and postponements due to the Omicron variant over recent weeks. Neumann (10-5, 2-0 AEC) was hot throughout, connecting on 36 of 59 attempts from the floor, and shooting 71.4% (5 of 7) from three point range. Marywood, meanwhile, was held to 40.3% shooting from the floor and was just 6 of 23 (26.1) from long range after having not played since December 20.

A three point (19-16) lead for Neumann midway through the first half expanded to a 16-point 47-31 lead at the half. 

Jalen Vaughs led four Knights in double digits with a game-high 20 points on 8 of 13 shooting. He also grabbed 11 defensive boards to complete his double-double.

Marywood got 18 from Adam Boussatta and 17 from Mason Mendygral. The duo were the only two to reach double digits for Marywood. Neumann held a distinctive 39-22 lead on the glass and had a 16-point (44-28) edge in the paint.

The Pacers will be back in action Wednesday when they travel to Hackettstown, New Jersey to take on Centenary University at 8:00 pm.
