11/18/08- The Bowman Center could barely contain a raucous crowd this evening that did not go home disappointed as the Nyack Men's Basketball team clipped the Spartans from St. Thomas Aquinas College, 57-55, in the Warriors home opener.  The game was tight throughout as neither team could manage to pull away from the other and the outcome was not certain until the final seconds as Nyack held on for the victory.  The Warriors were led by forward Brandon Corbell (Sr., Middletown, NY) with 13 points and guard Jose Lopez (Jr., Patchogue, NY), with 12 points, including 2-4 from behind the arc.  Though the Warriors shot only 37% from the floor they were 45% from behind the 3-point line and 77% from the charity stripe, which helped to seal the win.  The Warriors will be back in action this Friday evening when they host Queens College in Day 1 of the Fairfield Inn Tournament.

11/18/08- Forward, Shelly Yount (Sr., Belvidere, NJ) had her second double-double, a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds, of the young season and the Nyack College Women's Basketball team recovered from a poor 1st half of play to win their home opener this evening in the Bowman Center against STAC, 62-51.  Though they took a 5-point lead into the intermission, 29-24, the Lady Warriors engaged in some sloppy play in the 1st half.  The 2nd half proved to be a better showing for Nyack as the team responded to the support of the large partisan crowd.  Nyack began to pull away with less than five minutes in the game and cruised to the victory.  Forward Victoria Sweet (So., Harlem, NY) also had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Jasmine Minter (Jr., Richmond, VA) had a game-high 13 rebounds for the Lady Warriors as Nyack outrebounded the Spartans, 62-51.  Nyack will continue this week's homestand with a game this Thursday at 7pm with Baptist Bible College.
