JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | New Jersey City University opened the second half on a 16-2 run and behind four players scoring in double figures for the first time this season, the Gothic Knights held on to overcome a late rally by The College of New Jersey, 66-62, in a New Jersey Athletic Conference men's basketball game on January 12 at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center on 'Coach Charlie Brown Court.'
 
In the most balanced scoring attack of the season, NJCU (6-9, 2-7 NJAC) shot 64.7 percent in the second half (11-17) and 52.5 percent overall (21-40), led by sophomore power forward DREW MARLEY (Maplewood, NJ/Columbia), who posted a career high in consecutive games as NJCU won its fourth consecutive 'Green and Gold Day' game. The Knights have won back-to-back conference games after starting the league slate at 0-7. TCNJ fell to 4-11 (2-7 NJAC) with the loss.
 
Marley, who had established a then-career high 12 points in a win at Rutgers University-Camden on Wednesday, scored in double figures for the fifth time this season, using his size and strength to dominate inside, where he netted a career-best 16 points on 4-of-7 shooting with a stellar 8-of-10 foul shooting and six rebounds in 32 minutes. He had only attempted 17 free throws in his first 14 games this season prior to Saturday night.
