KNIGHTS LOSE TWO IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

The Berkeley College Knights traveled to New Hampshire this past weekend to participate in the Northeast Delta Dental New Year's Basketball Tournament at New Hamsphire Technical Institute.

Having lost several key players to injury, the short handed Knights gave their hosts a tough time in the opening game, trailing by only five at halftime to NHTI before succumbing 77 to 52. The Knights were led by James Dorismond, who scored 18 points.

In the consolation game against University of Maine - Augusta, the Knights quickly fell behind by a score of 18 to 3 before mounting a 25 to 9 run to take the lead. The Knights trailed by two at halftime, but couldn't keep the momentum and fell 91 to 78.

The Knights were led by Jamal Boatswain and James Dorismond, both of whom scored 17 points. In addition, Jamal was named to the All-Tournament team and James scored his 1,000 point and became Berkeley College's all-time leading scorer.

The Knights' next game is at 1 P.M. on Sunday, January 18, against the third-ranked team in the nation in The Fashion Institute of Technology.
