KING'S MEN DROP 67-58 DECISION TO DESALES
 
CENTER VALLEY -- Darnell Braswell scored 19 points as the host DeSales University men's basketball team posted a 67-58 victory over visiting King's College in a Freedom Conference matchup Wednesday in Center Valley.
 
With the win, DeSales improved to 14-2 overall and 7-1 in the Freedom Conference while the Monarchs slipped to 8-8 and 1-7 in league play.
 
In the first half DeSales raced out to a 18-11 lead with 11:02 left in the first half.  The Monarchs would then go on a 7-0 run and tied the score at 18-18 with 7:10 on the clock following two straight buckets from Harry Schlicter and a three-pointer from Jim Schule.

DeSales then forged a 25-20 lead following a three-pointer from Matt McManus with 4:05 on the clock but the Monarchs countered with a pair of foul shots by Kevin Conroy to come to within 25-23 with 1:33 to play. Jamey Bercier followed with a lay-up for DeSales to push the score to 27-23 with 0:43 on the clock, but Schlicter came up with a inside basket for the Monarchs to cut the Bulldog lead to 27-25 at the half. 

In the second half, the Bulldogs slowly began to pull away and took a 39-28 lead on a Darnell Braswell put-back with 15:20 to play. King's then cut the lead to 39-30, but DeSales responded with a 17-9 surge to increase the lead to 56-39 following a Brian Hunter three-pointer with 7:00 left in the contest.

The Monarchs refused to fold and answered with a 18-10 run over the next 6:11 to close to within 66-57 with 0:49 on the clock but would draw no closer.

Braswell was just 4-of 10 from the field but went 9-of-12 from the foul line as the only DeSales player to reach double figures. Bob Zanneo and Brian Hunter contributed nine and eight points respectively.

Conroy led King's with 14 points and six rebounds. Schule followed with 12 points and nine rebounds while Schlichter also tallied 12 points with six boards.

The Monarchs return to the court Saturday at 3:00 p.m. with a Freedom Conference matchup against FDU-Florham in Scandlon Gym.
