BROOKLYN, NY - The CMSV men's basketball team took on St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn on Monday night, in a pivotal Skyline Conference game. The Dolphins lost to the Bears 95-88, dropping their record to 8-11 overall and 7-7 in conference play.

Jamir Ferebee led the Dolphins on the offensive end, as the sophomore scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds tallying his fourth double-double of the season. Ferebee was ultra aggressive on the offensive end, getting to the line 22 times, connecting on 16 shots. Andrew Curiel added a career-high 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Trevor Johnson chipped in with 14 points before fouling out. Mike Mulligan had 10 points and 10 rebounds to notch his third double-double of the season and Jose Maestre added 10 points of his own.

The Dolphins from tip-off opening up a 12-5 lead after a Johnson made 3 with 14:16 left in the half but hot shooting from the Bears allowed them to take control of the game for the rest of the half. In the first 20 minutes, the Bears shot 52% from the field and a staggering 64% from 3-point land as they took a 47-34 lead at the break.

The second half started off much like the first half as St. Joe's was able to grow their lead to as much as 23 points with 13:35 left in the game and would continue to hold a double-digit lead for the majority of the second half. 

After Matt O'Neill made two free throws to make the score 90-73 with 2:32 remaining, the Dolphins were able to close out the game on a 15-5 run but it was not enough to overcome the large deficits the team faced all night.
