Albany, N.Y. - (11/10/2019) – Offense continued to shine today, Sunday, November 10, at the College of St. Rose Tip-off Tournament. Unfortunately, for Chestnut Hill College it was Le Moyne College who got the best of the offensive production as the Dolphins won the neutral site venture 123-70 with a 42-of-72 (.583) shooting performance that included 21 threes (21-of-41, .512) and was supported by a 18-of-23 (.783) effort at the free throw line. Off the bench, freshman guard Scottie Spann Jr. (Philadelphia, Pa.) led the Griffins with 17 points, five rebounds, an assist, and a steal.
 
Le Moyne College (1-1) steadily grew their first-half advantage to 14 points, 27-13 (11:39), with a flurry of activity from senior guard Ryan Roland (Syracuse, N.Y.). A pair of Spann free throws cut the Dolphin edge to single digits, 27-19, with 9:33 remaining in the frame. Unfortunately, Chestnut Hill College (0-2) was not able to keep the spread there for long as Le Moyne College as Roland led another Dolphin surge that pushed the deficit to 15 points, 34-19, with 7:31 to go, and 20 points, 41-21, with 6:35 to go. Their lead settled at 17 points, 56-39, for halftime, but quickly grew to 31 points, 70-39, at 15:30, before expanding to 40 points, 86-46, with just after the 12-minute mark (11:56), and 51 points, 101-51, four minutes later (7:56).
 
In the process, junior guard Tim Leavell (Marion, Ind.) emerged as the Dolphins leading scorer. He hit 12-of-16 (.750) from the field, including seven three pointers (7-of-10, .700), and added a free throw (1-of-2, .500) to total 32 points in all. Leavell also recorded eight rebounds, an assist, a block, and a steal. Roland finished with 26 points, four rebounds, eight assists, and three steals, while three others scored in double figures in Le Moyne College's high-scoring performance.

The rest of the Scarlet and Gold's points were spread rather evenly among nine Griffins. Junior forward Eli Barrett (Harrisburg, Pa.) was not one of them as he recorded a team-high 10 rebounds and an assist in the affair.
