Men's Basketball Defeats UAlbany 67-64 in Homecoming Clash

PHILADELPHIA – The La Salle men's basketball team opened up the win column on Saturday afternoon, defeating UAlbany 67-64 inside Tom Gola Arena on Homecoming Weekend.

HOW IT HAPPENED

UAlbany chipped away at the deficit early in the half, closing the gap to as little as five points in the opening seven minutes of the final frame.

UAlbany kept attacking, the lead trimming to as little as three points at the end. After struggling from the charity stripe in the opener, the Explorers used a 13-16 (81.3%) performance to help keep the Great Danes at bay.
