Box Score

Junior Trevor Healey (Wethersfield, CT/Wethersfield) scored 19 points with 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but the Keuka College men's basketball team suffered a 58-57 loss to North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) rival Gallaudet (D.C.) University Saturday afternoon.

Junior Adam Starks (Wellsville, NY/Andover) added 15 points on 4 of 6 shooting on three-pointers while sophomore Casey Williams (Syracuse, NY/Jamesville-DeWitt) added eight points and eight rebounds for the Storm (5-5, 3-2 NEAC).

Trailing 58-54, sophomore Vinney Zambito (Elba, NY/Batavia Notre Dame) buried a '3' to slice the deficit to one with 1:46 remaining, but Keuka missed its last two shots and suffered the loss despite holding the Bison (2-8, 1-2 NEAC) scoreless over the final 2:04.

Healey scored 11 second-half points while Starks added nine of his points after halftime. Junior Jared Wagner (Pittsford, NY/McQuaid) scored all six of his points in the first half as the Green and Gold took a slight 28-27 lead into halftime.

The Storm started slow and trailed 8-0 five minutes in. Starks got Keuka going with a '3' and Starks and Healey each hit a pair of free throws to cap a 7-0 run as Keuka trailed 8-7 with 14:20 left in the opening half.

Trailing 16-15, Wagner buried consecutive '3s' and Healey hit a layup to give the Storm their largest lead of the day, 23-16, causing Gallaudet to call for timeout with 4:33 remaining in the first.

The Bison hit three '3s' and a layup to close out the half on an 11-5 run as Keuka took a 28-27 halftime lead.

Starks drained another triple to push the lead to 31-27 early in the second half, but the Bison pulled even on a layup and a jumper, and neither team led by more than three points until Gallaudet's Ben Coleman drilled a '3' for a 46-42 lead halfway through the second.

The Storm trailed 49-44 with 8:49 remaining, but Healey hit a layup and Starks connected on another '3' to pull Keuka even with 6:32 left to play.

Tied at 52, Trey Gordon hit a triple to give the Bison a 55-52 edge with 3:40 remaining. Healey hit a pair of free throws to slice the deficit to 55-54, but a free throw and a jumper put the Storm down 58-54 with 2:04 left.

Zambito made his '3' to get the deficit to one, but the Green and Gold couldn't pull out the win despite causing two turnovers down the stretch.

The Storm travel to Penn State-Abington at noon on Sunday for a NEAC showdown before hosting Penn State-Berks at 6 p.m. Friday and Lancaster Bible College at 1 p.m. Saturday.
