Mallory goes off, fuels SCSU win over Le Moyne

Former Holy Cross standout Michael Mallory saved his best for the second half of Saturday’s game against Le Moyne in Syracuse, N.Y.
Mallory poured in 21 of his game-high 28 points in the second half as the SCSU Owls claimed a 83-72 road win over the Dolphins. He was 9-of-13 from the floor in the second half. Mallory scored the first five points of the second half, giving SCSU a 44-37 edge.
Mallory came up with two more big baskets later in the second half. His 3, along with a trey from Isaiah McLeod, put the Owls up 67-58. Mallory then converted an old-fashioned three-point play and SCSU had a 70-58 advantage with 4:44 to go in the game.
Former Torrington standout Desmond Williams was big down the stretch from the free throw line. Williams hit 8-for-8 from the line in the final 1:20 to help seal the game.
SCSU improved to 10-3 (5-1 Northeast-10) with the win. The Owls return to the court on Wednesday with a 7:30 p.m. home game against Saint Michael’s College.
