BULLDOGS LOSE DOUBLE OT THRILLER

The Berkeley Bulldogs lost a double overtime thriller to County College of Morris by a final score of 99 to 97 last night to drop the Bulldogs to 1-15 on the season.

The Bulldogs led early before falling behind by 11 at halftime. The Bulldogs quickly erased the deficit in the second half and a clutch three pointer and tip-in following a missed free throw at the end of regulation by senior Mannie Malasig sent the game into overtime.

Despite losing three key players to foul trouble during regulation, the Bulldogs managed to make it a free throw battle against the Titans in the first overtime to send the game into a second overtime.

The Bulldogs and Titans battled back and forth in the second overtime before the Titans pulled away at the free throw line.

The Bulldogs were led by Malasig who dropped 28 points on the Titans. Team leading scorer Donovan Black chipped in with 24 points. Freshman forward Anthony Crawford added 14 points before fouling out during regulation.
