Burt and Eisenberg Lead Men's Hoops Over UMass Dartmouth
Plymouth State 69 - UMass Dartmouth
PLYMOUTH, N.H. - Plymouth state ended a five game losing streak by beating LEC rival UMass Dartmouth in a thrilling 69-67 victory Saturday afternoon at Foley Gymnasium.
Plymouth was lead by the excellent performances turned in from Alex Burt and Kevin Eisenberg. Burt was 10 of 14 from the field and 10 of 12 from the free throw line for the game, logging a career best 33 points. Eisenberg assisted by posting 20 points and a game-high seven assists.
PSU almost let the game get away in the final moments. Holding a one point lead and possession with 22 seconds left, the Corsairs stole the inbound pass. The ball found its way into the hands of Eleazar Clayton, who missed the potential game winning shot.
The Panthers lead most of the first twenty minutes. However, after holding a 17-10 lead in the first half, UMD would fight back and take a 34-31 lead into halftime.
The second half was an entirely different story. The Corsairs controlled most of the play in the second half, but PSU hung around and would eventually gain the lead after Sheldon Benson netted a put-back with just over eight minutes to play. A John Genkos three pointer would momentarily give UMD the lead back, but Burt responded with a three of his own to even the game with 5:00 remaining. Senior Stephan Roberts would give the home team the lead for good with a layup following the time out.
Plymouth got solid contributions from Sophomore Adam Goodwin, who pulled in a game-high eight rebounds, while Roberts finished with seven rebounds and two assists.
Plymouth improved to 2-6 with the win, and will wrap up the first semester of play on the road against Lyndon State on Saturday. UMass Dartmouth dropped to 0-8 on the year, and will travel to Johnson and Wales on Tuesday.
