Mawo and Tangishaka lead the way, as Men's Basketball flies past SCSU, 66-56

WORCESTER, Mass.— The Assumption University men's basketball team used a strong first half and cruised to a 66-56 win over Southern Connecticut State University in Northeast 10 Conference action, Tuesday evening inside Andrew Laska Gymnasium. 

THE BASICS:
Score: Assumption University 66, Southern Connecticut State University 56
Records: Greyhounds (14-9, 9-5 NE10) | Owls (9-13, 5-9 NE10)

HOW IT HAPPENED: 
It was all Assumption in the early portion of the NE10 contest, as the Greyhounds raced out to a 13-3 lead. Southern Connecticut would trim the young deficit down to five points (19-14), but the Hounds closed out the first half on a 15-9 run, with Tayeshawn Cunningham-Pemberton and Luke Michalski pouring in five over the run, to head into the intermission up 34-23. 
 
The Owls opened the second half with a slight 11-7 run, but it was quickly extinguished, as the Hounds answered with a 12-0 run with five different players finding the bottom of the basket to go back in front by 19 (53-34). SCSU attempted a comeback over the final 12:19 of regulation, which included 11 points by Malik Banks, but they could not cut the deficit down to single digits. Assumption would walk away with a 66-56 home win.
