MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – The Morrisville State College men's basketball team cruised to a 82-54 non-conference win Saturday afternoon behind the trio attack of the senior backcourt.

The non-conference win pulls the Mustangs even to 2-2 on the season, while Maritime drops to 1-2 overall.

Jailaan Kinsey (Syracuse, N.Y.) led Morrisville State with 14 points, and was followed closely by Brandon Hanks (Syracuse, N.Y.) and Jordan Prior (Cortland, N.Y.) with 13 and 10, respectively, while the trio combined for 14 of the team's 22 assists on the day.

Senior forward Sherard King (Bronx, N.Y.) controlled the boards, snagging a total 11 while Prior pulled down eight.

Sean Corley (Harlem, N.Y.) led Maritime with 18 points, 10 of which came on 14 attempts from the free throw line, while leading the Privateers with a team high nine rebounds and five assists. Kevin Heine (Frederick, Md.) added 10 points in the efforts, nailing two from long range.

It was a close match in the opening period until the 14:35 mark when the Mustangs put together an 11-0 run over the next three minutes to open the game to a 13 point margin.

Maritime was able to climb their way back to within three on a long bomb from Tim McNamara (Somerville, N.J) with 6:15 to go in the half, but an answering three by Hanks on the ensuing Mustang possession sent Morrisville State on a 19-2 spurt to close the period with a 46-26 lead at the break.

In the second, Morrisville State built up as many as a 30 point advantage as the Privateers stalled offensively, shooting a mere 19.4 percent from the floor to the Mustangs 56.5.

Morrisville State dominated the glass, recording the 56-25 advantage over Maritime, while hitting nearly double from the floor.

Maritime hit 16-of-56 attempts (28.6) on the night, 3-of-20 from beyond the three point line.

Morrisville State nailed 51.8 percent from the floor on 29-of-56 attempts, including 8-of-20 from long range, as 12 Mustangs contributed points in the win.
