Box Score Waterbury, Conn. - (1/6/2016) – Senior guard Luke Dickson (Pitman, N.J.) hit the fifth (5-of-8, .625) three pointer in a 21-point performance to take down the current Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North Division leaders in a 75-73 victory at Post University. Sophomores, guard Demetrius Isaac (Philadelphia, Pa.) and forward Edward McWade (Wildwood, N.J.) joined Dickson in double figures; the former offering nine points in the first half and the latter scoring all 12 of his points in a Griffin second half that totaled 49 points on 61.5% (16-of-26) shooting performance.
 
At a frenetic pace, McWade and Dickson took turns spiriting the Griffins' triumphant second-half run as the prior scored a three-point basket to give Chestnut Hill College (6-8, 3-3) their only sustaining lead of the game, 49-47, midway through the second half (10:33) and the succeeding hitting a long-range basket to extend the Griffins' advantage to its largest margin, 66-58. A brief Post University (8-5, 4-2) reprisal, led by sophomore guard Jah'sheme Ringgold (Easton, Md.), brought the home team back within one point, 67-66, just before the two-minute mark (2:11), but just seconds later the uprising was extinguished on Dickson's fifth three-point basket of the night. Short on time, the Eagles forced the Griffins to earn the league victory at the free throw line. And that they did, hitting 5-of-8 (.625) to hold off the Eagles' fleeting rally that closed the final margin to two points.
 
Ringgold finished with 15 points, five rebounds, and a steal, and was supported by complimentary efforts from sophomore guard Tyler Desrosiers (Agawam, Mass.) and freshman forward Tamas Okros (Bristol, England). Desrosiers totaled a team-high 17 points, three rebounds, and five assists while Okros contributed 13 points, a team-high six rebounds, five assists, and a steal.
 
Dickson added a rebound, two assists, and two steals to his sixth 20-point performance of the season. Isaac finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and three assists, while McWade added four rebounds and an assist to his dozen second-half points. Junior forward Gerald Evariste (Philadelphia, Pa.) and senior forward Noel Hightower (Easton, Pa.) grabbed nine rebounds apiece.
