Devils Cruise Past Cross-Town Rival Drew, 68-51

Box Score MADISON, NJ - In a game that was never in doubt, the College at Florham Devils beat Drew in the Battle of Madison Avenue by a score of 68-51 on Wednesday evening.

With the win, the Devils improved to 2-5 on the season.

FDU raced out to an 8-3 lead with just over four minutes gone by in the first half but Drew came back to tie the game at 10-10 with 12:13 left in the first half.  The Devils then reeled off a 22-6 run to grab a 32-16 with 0:59 to go in the half thanks to eight points from junior guard Mike Williamson and six points from sophomore forward Will Green.  The Rangers did score the final five points of the half though, including a three-quarters court heave at the buzzer, to close FDU's lead to 32-21 at the break.

Drew got to within 11 points, 37-26, with three minutes gone by in the second half but that's as close as they would get as the Devils methodically kept increasing their lead until it was 68-46 with 2:40 to go in the contest.

Williamson led the Devils with 16 points off the bench while junior forward Derek Hall added 13 points and eight rebounds.  Senior guard Adam Katz finished with 11 points and six assists, Green tallied 11 points and eight boards, and sophomore guard Trevor Sykes notched 10 points.
