MILTON, Mass. -- Rookie Siddiq Canty put in a season-high 29 points as the University of New England rolled to a 93-60 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) men's basketball victory against Curry College on Thursday night (Jan. 9) at Katz Gymnasium.

Canty reached his total largely behind 11-of-18 accuracy on field-goal tries, and secured four steals. Alex Kravchuk tallied 17 points for the Nor'easters (7-6, 2-3 CCC), while Jackson McCoy and Avery DeBrito both contributed 12 points. McCoy also secured a game-best 10 rebounds for his first career double-double, which supported a 50-35 advantage on the glass. DeBrito added five rebounds and five assists to his line.

The Colonels (4-9, 0-4 CCC) were paced by 22 points from Daymeann Stewart. Michael Ashley had nine points and eight rebounds, and Spencer Feng recorded nine points, as well. Curry could only manage a 32 percent shooting in the contest and turned it over 26 times.

UNE never trailed in the game, and a 9-0 spurt that included five from DeBrito established the first double-digit lead at 23-12 just past the midway mark of the 1st half. The Nor'easters had three in double figures by intermission, when the spread was 45-24.

The cushion swelled to 32 (58-26) less than four minutes into the 2nd period. Canty had eight to spark the stretch. UNE cruised to the end with 50 percent shooting following the break (20-of-40), which featured eight three-pointers.
