BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott men's basketball team made quick work of Salve Regina University, 79-44, Tuesday night on a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Valentine's Day date inside MacDonald Gymnasium.

The Gulls matched their season-low by holding an opponent to 20 points in a half as Endicott took a 35-20 lead into the locker room at the break and never looked back.

Sophomore forward Nick Thibeault (Gorham, Maine) scored a career-high 11 points off the bench to lead the Gulls in scoring while grabbing a career-best seven rebounds in the effort.

In a strong defensive showing, the Gulls forced 20 turnovers by the Seahawks and subsequently scored 29 points off those mishaps to hold an opponent to a season-low 44 points on the night.

  • Endicott is 20-14 overall and 13-3 at home against the Seahawks in the all-time series.

FOR THE FOES

  • The Seahawks had just four student-athletes contribute to the scoring column as junior guard Rodney Morton (Malden, Mass.) poured in a game-best 27 points.
  • Salve Regina lost its third game in a row.
