JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | New Jersey City University limited Vaughn College to 13.2 percent shooting and the second lowest scoring output in known program history as 11 of the 12 Gothic Knights who saw action scored in a 56-12 non-conference rout on Saturday afternoon on "Coach Charlie Brown Court" at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center. NJCU out-rebounded the Warriors by a plus-43 margin, 65-22 and had an incredible 34-2 margin in offensive caroms.
NJCU (3-5) won its third straight game despite shooting just 33.3 percent itself (25-75) and 7-for-29 in the second half (.241). But NJCU outscored Vaughn (0-5), 32-2 in the paint, 22-2 off 19 turnovers and 19-2 on second chance opportunities, while its bench owned a 25-0 points advantage. The Knights gained a rebound on 34 of their 50 missed shots.
Incredibly, NJCU did not commit a foul in the entire first half, only had three in the entire game, and was not whistled until the 12:24 mark of the second half.
The 12 points scored by Vaughn are the second fewest on record by an opponent in school history. On December 16, 1992, NJCU defeated Medgar Evers, 91-11; then Jersey City State also defeated FDU, 51-11, in 1970-71. Today's win also marked the seventh time in known school history that NJCU held an opponent below 20 points; the last time was a 96-15 decision over City College of New York on November 19, 1999.
