Caldwell, NJ (12/19/09)  The East Stroudsburg University Warriors improved to 8-0 after upending the Dominican College Chargers, 78-74 this afternoon at the ECAC Holiday Classic hosted by Caldwell College.

The first half was a tight knit battle with numerous lead changes and neither team leading by more than six points.  DC held two six point leads at 12:33 and 11:46, but ESU rallied to head into the intermission with a 32-30 lead.

Dominican opened up the second half with a three point basket by senior Brendan McManus (Pearl River, NY) to take an early 33-32 lead and led 40-37 with 17:23 remaining on a layup by freshman guard Leon Porter (Laurel, MD).  A 6-0 spurt by the Warriors gave them a 43-40 lead which they would not relinquish in the second half.  

Trailing 71-63 with 3:30 left in regulation, the Chargers went on a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to three points, but that would be as close as they would get as ESU hung on for the 78-74 victory.

Junior guard Jamell Cromartie (White Plains, NY) came off the bench to lead four Chargers in double figures iwth 17 points as he went 4-5 from three point land.  Porter finished with 14 points, shooting 5-10 from the floor, while rookie center Cory Quimby (Otisville, NY) netted 12 points and had a team leading eight rebounds in the loss.  Senior forward Zach Huston (Binghamton, NY) contributed 10 points.

With the loss Dominican falls to 5-4 on the season.
