Despite an impressive 20 point performance from River Hawks freshman Isaac White that included an impressive 6-8 from three, UMass Lowell fell to the Stony Brook Seawolves 91-73 at the Costello Athletic Center.

The game started out back and forth, and with 3:44 left in the first half, the River Hawks only were down 25-28. The Seawolves offense came alive and by halftime it was 37-28.

Unfortunately, the score would only get worse in the second half, where the Seawolves led by as much as 25 points.

“We faced a very good Stony Brook team today,” said UMass Lowell head coach Pat Duquette after the loss. “They’re possibly the best team we have played in three years in America East.”

Duquette also praised opposing player Jameel Warney, who has been named the America East Conference player of the year the past two years. Warney led the charge for Stony Brook with 24 points and 14 rebounds in 33 minutes.

Mark Cornelius continued his recent hot streak by putting in another fine performance for UMass Lowell, dropping 11 points and grabbing 5 boards. Matt Harris also had 11 points, and Jahad Thomas scored 9 points to go with a team-leading 7 rebounds.

With this win over the River Hawks, the Seawolves increased their win streak to an impressive 15 straight with an overall record of 19-4. The River Hawks fell to 8-15 overall.
