SUNY COBLESKILL MEN’S BASKETBALL FALLS TO MAINE-FARMINGTON 79-73 IN NAC ACTION

Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men’s basketball team returned home on Friday evening to drop an extremely physical contest to the visiting Beavers of the University of Maine-Farmington in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action by a score of 79-73 at the Iorio Gymnasium in a battle between the league’s Eastern and Western Division leaders. With the loss the Fighting Tigers are now 12-4 overall with a 4-2 record in league play while the Beavers move to 9-4 including a 5-0 record in NAC action. 

Trailing 56-46 with 12:35 remaining in regulation the Fighting Tigers tied the contest at 70-70 with 1:37 left to play on a short jumper by junior guard Iziah Pigott, Brooklyn, N.Y, Urban Assembly High School/Dutchess Community College, on a feed from senior forward Justin Feldman, Chester, N.Y., Chester High School/Orange Community College. 

However, that was as close as the home team would come as the Beavers outscored Cobleskill 9-3 down the stretch to secure the victory. 

First-year swingman Jeremy Rosario, Colonie, N.Y., Colonie High School, keyed the Fighting Tiger comeback effort coming off the bench to score a team high of 14 points to go with three rebounds and an assist while Iziah Pigott tossed in 13 points, grabbed four rebounds and passed out four assists.
