Keuka College Men’s Basketball Grounded at Hilbert

HAMBURG, N.Y. — The Keuka College Men's Basketball team lost at Hilbert College 92-70 in a non-conference game on Saturday afternoon.  

Keuka College (0-3, 0-0 Empire 8) was led by Christian Sage (Owego, N.Y. / Owego Free Academy) with 15 points and Devin Milton (Opelousas, La. / Beau Chene) with 14. First-year Amar Jackson (Brooklyn, N.Y. / Frederick Douglas Academy) added 10 points for the Wolves.

Hilbert College 92 vs. Keuka College 70

Each team held the lead in the opening minutes, but a 7-0 run for the Hawks helped them build a 21-10 lead over the Wolves. A three-point play by Christian Sage snapped the run, but the lead would stay in double-digits for most of the half for Hilbert. A late 6-0 run for Keuka shrunk the lead down to four, but Hilbert scored the final five points of the half to lead 48-39 at the break.

The Wolves were firing early. A three by Mason VanDeMortel (Newark, N.Y. / Newark) cut it down to six, 50-44, but the Hawks answered with 13 unanswered, keeping Keuka off the board for over four minutes. The Wolves would not be able to dig out of that hold. Hilbert kept the margin in double figures the rest of the way as they defeated Keuka College 92-70.
