Men's Basketball suffers first road lost of 2024-25, Hounds fall 84-80 in OT at New Haven

WEST HAVEN, Conn.— The Assumption University men's basketball team suffered their first road lost of the season, as the Greyhounds fell to the University of New Haven in Northeast-10 Conference action Wednesday evening. 
 
THE BASICS
Score: University of New Haven 84, Assumption University 80 - OT
Records: Greyhounds (13-4, 8-2 NE10) | Chargers (8-9, 4-6 NE10)

HOW IT HAPPENED: 
The first half between the two Northeast-10 Conference teams was neck and neck for most of the frame, as Assumption was the first team to have a lead of more than one possession following a Baril Mawo jumper at the 4:28 marker (30-26). Following a stop, Njavan Stewert hit a jumper to put the Greyhounds up six (32-26). New Haven started to close the gap and would get within one before the end of the opening period and send the game into halftime, with the Hounds leading 36-35. 


In the early portion of the second half, the Greyhounds took a four-point lead (49-45) following a Tayeshawn Cunningham-Pemberton dunk at the 15:53 mark. The two teams continued to trade baskets until the Chargers went on an 11-4 run to go up 67-61, giving them their largest lead of the contest. Assumption responded with an 11-5 run to send the game to overtime tied at 75-75, with Stewart leading the charge with eight points. 
 
In the extra session, the two teams traded baskets for the first three minutes, with Assumption maintaining a slight 80-79 advantage. The Chargers would close the game on a 5-0 run to come away with the conference win.

  • Five Hounds logged 10+ points; Njavan Stewart led the way with 25, while Jamal Barnes (16), Baril Mawo (12), and Tayshawn Cunningham-Pemberton (10) also surpassed the ten-point threshold.
