Box Score

The Lehman College Men's Basketball team (2-4 Overall, 1-0 CUNYAC) won their second consecutive game, defeating the Beavers of City College of New York (1-5 Overall, 0-1 CUNYAC) in a CUNYAC contest by the score of 67-46 Tuesday evening at the APEX Center in the Bronx.

Senior Guard Perry Daniel recorded a double-double, scoring 14 points (5-6 FT) and grabbing 11 rebounds, and Jonathan DeJesus scored 11 points, grabbed eight rebounds and tallied four steals as well. Following the victory, Head Coach Steven Schulman gave his thoughts.

“This is our second consecutive win, and our second straight home victory at that,” Schulman said. “Basically tonight, we won our first conference game of the season and jumped over .500 on our home floor, so things are starting to head in the right direction. Now we'll look towards the John Jay game and try to keep rolling.”

The Lightning also won the turnover battle, committing 18 miscues while forcing 22. Lehman also shot 37 percent from the floor, while the Beavers connected on just 27 percent of their shots.
