Friday, January 25, 2013
Sacred Heart handed Bryant its first Northeast Conference loss of the season and snapped an eight game win streak in the process, defeating the Bulldogs 87-76 Thursday night in Fairfield, CT.
Sophomore guard Dyami Starks scored a game high 28 points off of a career-high 10 field goals, including five 3-pointers, finishing the game one point shy of his career high. He was one of three double-figure scorers for the Bulldogs (13-5, 6-1 NEC), who shot 49.2 percent from the floor but allowed the Pioneers (7-11, 5-2) to convert better than 61 percent from the field.
Shane Gibson (26 points) and Steve Glowiak (21) were on fire from beyond the arc all night, combining for a 9-of-19 mark to lead Sacred Heart to a 45.5 percent shooting clip from long range.
