Pleasantville, NY (11/11/11)  Junior Cory Quimby (Otisville, NY) hit the game-winning shot as time expired to lift the Dominican College men's basketball team to a thrilling 78-76 victory over Assumption College in the opening game of the 2011 Pace University Tip-Off Claiss played this evening at the Goldstein Fit Center.  With the win the Chargers improve to 1-0 on the year, while the Greyhounds fall to 0-1.

Dominican opened the contest with an 8-0 run as senior Michael Calzonetti* (Gloucester, NJ) and guard Khaleev Ginyard (Brentwood, NY) hit back-to-back three point baskets with 17:26 remaining in the first half.  DC led 20-15 with just over ten minutes left when the Greyhounds scored nine straight points to take a 24-20 advantage.  The Chargers closed out the half with the last four points to trail 37-35 at the intermission.

With 2:44 left in the game, Dominican trailed 76-68 when Quimby went on a 8-0 tear with a layup, two free throws and back-to-back buckets to tie the game for the seventh time at 76-76 with 47 ticks left in regulation.  An Assumption turnover gave DC the opportunity to call time out with seven seconds left and Quimby nailed the game-winning basket off the pass from guard Leon Porter II* (Laurel, MD) as time expired for the 78-76 victory.

Quimby led all scorers and one of three Chargers in double figures with a career high 26 points.  He completed the game's only double-double by adding another career high of 14 rebounds in the win.

Porter had a strong second half to finish with 17 points and a game high nine assists.  Forward DaVonne Dunlap (Kingston, NY) scored 12 points and had a game leading four steals.
