Men's Hoops Falls to Misericordia at Home

MADISON, N.J. – The FDU-Florham men's basketball team dropped a close contest to Misericordia 67-62 Saturday afternoon at home. 
 
DEVILS HIGHLIGHTS
  • Gino Romano led all Devils scorers with 12 points on 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. 
  • Frankie Denvir finished with 11 points on 2-of-8 from long range and a perfect 5-for-5 from the charity stripe. 
  • Chris Smith netted 10 points on with a 4-for-7 day from the field and tallied eight boards. 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The Cougars got out to an early 8-2 lead after a Matt Prociak three-pointer, but a quick 11-1 run from the Devils, highlighted by two treys from Denvir, put FDU ahead 13-9 with 12:50 left in the first half. 
  • The two squads traded blows up to the 4:22 mark when Romano knocked down a triple to give the Devils a 27-22 edge, but five points from the Cougars knotted the game at 27 apiece with 3:03 to play. 
  • FDU ended the half with four straight points, and the Devils took a 31-27 lead into the break. 
  • In the second half, the Devils extended their lead to six, 36-30, after a Romano trey at the 17:14 mark. 
  • The Cougars then knotted the game at both the 15:31 and 14:30 marks before FDU took its last lead of the contest as Micah Moore knocked down a triple to put the Devils up 46-44 with 11:49 left to go. 
  • This was FDU's final lead of the day as the Devils tied the game twice more down the stretch, but the Cougars used a 9-0 run to pull away. 
  • At the 3:11 mark, FDU's offense showed a spark as Noah Pagan threw down a thunderous dunk followed by a three-pointer to make it a one-point game with 3:11 left in regulation, but FDU was unable to overcome the deficit.
