Box Score Bronxville, N.Y. - (1/25/2014) – Returning to the court for the first time in 11 days, Chestnut Hill College was unable to catch Concordia College (NY), who relied on the efforts of senior guard Norman Pope (Washington, DC) to defeat the Griffins in a 70-63 final. The Griffins outshot the Clippers early and led by two points at the break, 27-25, but it would be the home team's ability to get to the free throw line that separated them for the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) victory. Graduate guard Taylor Trevisan (West Chester, Pa.) recorded his second straight double-double while senior center Seamus Radtke (Philadelphia, Pa.) topped the scoring column with 15 points.
 
Trevisan captained the early effort that kept Chestnut Hill College (6-11, 4-6) in the lead, 8-7 at 15:05, until Pope pushed Concordia College (3-14, 3-7) to a 27-25 halftime advantage. A physical second half, with 32 total fouls and 46 free throws, fell in the Clippers favor as the home team connected on 22-of-32 (.688) second-half free throws to advance their lead to ten points, 43-33 by 12:03. The Griffins final assault brought the margin to as little as five points, 61-56, before the final minute of play (1:12), but it would not be enough to knock the Clippers off course.
 
Pope was 8-of-16 (.500) from the field and 8-of-12 (.667) at the line in the Clipper victory, adding three assists and a steal to his 26-point effort. He was helped by junior forward Tshyrad Oates (Union City, N.J.) and senior Jahrod Lide (Bronx, N.Y.); Oates with eight points and ten rebounds, and Lide with ten points off the Clippers bench.
 
In a 16-point, ten-rebound double-double, Trevisan recorded ten of his points and seven of his rebounds in the second half. Conversely, Radtke totaled seven of his points and three of his seven rebounds in the opening period.
 
The men's basketball team travels to Wilmington University on Tuesday, January 28, when the tip-off against the Wildcats in an 8:00 p.m. CACC contest.
