Boxscore

Rockville Centre, N.Y. - Matt Hall (Springfield, Mass.) , Daniel Heppert (Richmond, Va.) and Mike Kernan (Medford, N.J.) all scored 13 points and Patrick Lee (Fayetteville, N.Y.) chipped in 10 as Stonehill led by as many as 23 points and cruised to a 75-67 win over Molloy in the final game of the Lions' Classic on Saturday evening.

The Skyhawks shot 55 percent in the first half to stake themselves to 38-26 lead at the break. Molloy, who never led in the game, made only 33 percent of their shots in the opening stanza.

After a three-point play from the Lions' Daniel Concha had the game at 22-21, Stonehill embarked on an 11-0 run that featured for layups and a three-pointer from Sean Costigan (Portland, Maine).

The Skyhawks started the second half on a 7-0 run pushing their lead to 19 and it eventually ballooned to 23 following a pair of Lee free throws with a little more than eight minutes left.

Over the next six minutes, the Lions trimmed 14 points of the Stonehill lead but in the end the Skyhawks held on to improve to 4-0 on the season.

In addition to their four double figure scorers, both Costigan and Nick Smith (Colonia, N.J.) scored nine points. Colin Scanlon (Centreville, Va.) also had another all-around performance with a game-high seven assists, four rebounds and three points.

Stonehill returns to action on Tuesday when they return to Northeast-10 action with a 7:30 p.m. tip against UMass-Lowell.
