Box Score

FLUSHING, N.Y. – The Felician University men's basketball team erupted for 59 second-half points in its 101-85 non-conference victory over host Queens (N.Y.) College on Wednesday evening at Fitzgerald Gymnasium. Senior guard Gjaimeir Stanford (Wilmington, Del.) came off the Felician bench to lead all players with 22 points and add four assists.

The Golden Falcons (3-2), who have won three consecutive games, scored 100+ points for the first time since Feb. 24, 2015 at Concordia (N.Y.) College (school-record 110). Felician shot 55.7 percent from the field on Wednesday, including 67.9 percent (19 for 28) in the decisive second half.

Felician led, 42-29, with three minutes remaining in the opening period. But the Knights scored the final 13 points of the half, including eight by Tyrese Crosdale (Bronx, N.Y.), to head into halftime even at 42-42. Crosdale had 14 points and Stanford 17 at the break.

The Golden Falcons moved ahead to stay, 49-48, on a Terrell Spaulding (Paterson, N.J.) three-point field goal with 17:46 remaining in regulation. The shot touched off a 32-4 Felician run over the next eight minutes that effectively put the game away, leaving the visitors ahead by 26. Six different Golden Falcons scored in the spurt, led by Spaulding's 11 points. Queens  never got closer than a 15-point deficit the rest of the night.

Felician made 10 of its 18 three-point attempts, including 5 of 8 from Stanford. Junior Rahsaan Williams (Brooklyn, N.Y.) netted a season-high 17 points with five rebounds for the visitors, and Spaulding finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. Also scoring in double figures for Felician were sophomores Zamir Wright (Newark, N.J.) (14) and Debon Bright (Woodland Park, N.J.), who put up 10 points in nine minutes in his season debut.

Simon Green (Harlem, N.Y.) (five assists) and Dwayne Henry (Woodstock, N.Y.) netted 16 points apiece for the Knights (1-3).
