BERKELEY NY CAMPUSES UNVEIL NEW LOGO

Berkeley College unveiled its first official logo that will represent Berkeley College athletics for all of Berkeley's New York campuses this past Tuesday at its midtown campus in New York City.

"As Berkeley College has evolved academically over the course of the last 75 plus years, so too has it evolved athletically and this logo is only the latest example of this evolution," stated athletic director Brian Maher before a packed standing-room only crowd in Berkeley's student center.

"Despite their relatively short existence, the Berkeley College Knights have established an impressive tradition of success both on the field of play and, more importantly, inside the classroom. This logo represents their strength, their resolve, and their commitment," said Maher.

The unveiling of the logo was part of a pep rally for the men's basketball team that included performances by the Berkeley College cheer squad and dance team. The men's soccer team was recognized as well for their successful introduction into the Hudson Valley Men's Athletic Conference where they appeared in the postseason in their very first season of play.

FIRST HALF DEFICIT DOOMS BULLDOGS

The Berkeley College Bulldogs men's basketball team couldn't overcome a listless first half and poor outside shooting in a losing effort against the Centenary College Cylones Wednesday night. The Bulldogs trailed the Cyclones 44 to 17 in the first half.

Trailing by 27 points, the Bulldogs fought hard in the second half quickly cutting the Cyclones lead down to 17 points, but a lack of time and poor foul shooting spoiled the effort as they lost by a final score of 73 to 47 despite outscoring the Cylones 30 to 29 in the half and shooting 0 for 16 from the three-point line.


The Bulldogs were led by senior guard James Bozor who came off the bench to record 12 points, 4 steals, and 5 rebounds and freshman forward Savereo Jackson with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots.



The Cyclones improved to 2-1 on the season while the Bulldogs fell to 0-5.

The Bulldogs next game is against Rutgers-Camden on December 1 at 7 P.M. The game will be played at Gloucester Community College.

KNIGHTS GO TO DOUBLE OT AGAINST YESHIVA

The Berkeley College New York City men's soccer team didn't want their regular season to end, choosing instead to go into double overtime against Yeshiva University before falling by a score of 2 to 1.

The lone goal was scored by Patrik Lundberg and goalie Jonathan Graneros made seven saves for the Knights who end their initial intercollegiate season with a record of 1-4-1.

LADY BULLDOGS LOSE TIGHT GAME

The Berkeley College Lady Bulldogs soccer team lost a close game Sunday night to the Lady Knights by a score of 4 to 1. Down 2 to 0, senior Marie Chapin scored the lone goal for the Lady Bulldogs to cut the lead to 1 before the Lady Knights scored two quick goals at the end of the game. Chapin has scored in three consecutive games for the Lady Bulldogs. Freshman Meghan Collister assisted on the goal.

Sophomore Genevieve Lang made 32 saves in net. The Lady Bulldogs are 0-4 on the season and next play against Inter Lodi on Sunday, November 23 at 6 P.M.

KNIGHTS NEARLY STEAL A WIN AT TOURNAMENT

The Berkeley College Knights men's basketball team participated in the Frank Lospitalier Classic at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, NY, for the first time this weekend and nearly rebounded from a tough first round loss to nearly steal a win in the consolation game.

The Knights competed against the host team in the first game of the tournament, which resulted in a lopsided victory for the Mount Saint Mary Blue Knights despite a strong second half by the Berkeley College Knights, 91 to 50.

The Knights were led by Michael Bloomfield and Willie Bowman III who scored 11 points each.

The Knights bounced back in the consolation game against Marywood University, trailing by only nine at the half, 41 to 32. The second half was a close contest throughout with the Pacers of Marywood pulling out the win by a final score of 82 to 70.

Jonathan Dorismond scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Knights and was selected to the All-Tournament team.

BULLDOGS EARN RESPECT AT RAMAPO TOURNAMENT

The Berkeley College Bulldogs men's basketball team participated in the Ramapo College Tip-Off Tournament for the third straight year and had their best showing in the tournament, giving both Eastern Connecticut State and Yeshiva University a run for their money.



The Bulldogs were neck and neck in the first game of the tournament with the Eastern Connecticut Warriors before falling behind by 14 at the half, 43 to 29. The Bulldogs fought back early in the second half, trimming the lead to eight points before the Warriors pulled away with the victory by a final score of 82 to 61. The Bulldogs were led by Donovan Black and Marcus Jones with 17 and 14 points, respectively.



In the consolation game against Yeshiva University, the Bulldogs had their closest game of the tournament, closing within seven points several times late in the game before early foul trouble and Yeshiva's zone defense eventually caught up with them and the Maccabees pulled away with a hard fought defensive victory by a score of 65 to 48. Donovan Black led all scorers with 23 points and Roger Wan had a career best 11 points to lead the Bulldogs.

BULLDOGS LOSE TO SKYLANDERS

The Berkeley College Garret Mountain men's basketball team saw its record fall to 0-2 in a sloppy performance against the Sussex County Community College Skylanders.

Despite numerous unforced turnovers the Bulldogs found themselves trailing only by two at the half, 37 to 35, mostly due to 15 of 16 shooting from the free throw line.

The second half, however, saw the Skylanders run away with it as they pulled away with an 83 to 69 victory over the Bulldogs.

Donovan Black led the Bulldogs with 21 points, closely followed by Mannie Malasig with 18.

The Bulldogs next play at the Ramapo College Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday, November 15, against Eastern Connecticut University at 5:30 P.M.

The Knights then faced Pratt Institute in the championship game on Sunday and defeated the Cannoneers by a score of 71 to 59 to win the tournament despite trailing at halftime by a score of 30 to 28.

BULLDOGS LOSE SEASON OPENER

The Berkeley College Bulldogs men's basketball team lost their season opener to the Passaic County Community College Panthers by a score of 90 to 64 at Passaic on Monday, November 3.

Berkeley, led by sophomore Marcus Jones, took an early lead in the first half before falling behind with 3 minutes remaining to go into the locker room down 44 to 41. Jones led all scorers at halftime with 12 points.

The teams traded baskets in the first few minutes of the second half before unforced turnovers, foul trouble, and the lack of an inside presence put the Bulldogs in a hole they could not get out of.

The Bulldogs were led by Jones, who ended up with 16 points, and sophomore transfer Donovan Black and freshman Derron Chaplin who both scored 13 points.

The Bulldogs dominated in the paint in the first half with senior Mannie Malasig and Jones playing tenacious defense and grabbing every loose rebound. Malasig scored 10 points before fouling out with eight minutes remaining in the game.

The Bulldogs next play against the Sussex County Community College Skylanders on Tuesday, November 11, in Newton.
