The Berkeley College New York men's basketball team defeated arch rival St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) 76-74 on Saturday night at Brooklyn Technical High School to extend their conference win streak to 23 games.
Senior forward Jose Stable's fadeaway jumper with three seconds remaining put the Knights on top for good.

Berkeley finished the more efficient squad, connecting on 45 percent of their attempts (27-of-60) while the Bears hit for 37 percent (25-of-68) but landed 11 triples.
