Knights Men's Basketball Falls to Post University on Day 2 of Molloy Tip-Off Tournament

Rockville Centre, N.Y. (November 10, 2012) – The Knights men's basketball fell to the Post University Eagles in a gritty 79-78 overtime loss at the Molloy Tip-Off to fall to 0-2 on the season.

                The Knights ended the first half on top 41-29. Falling behind by as much as 60-49 midway through the 2nd half, they clawed their way back into the game as sophomore Patrick Modzelewski (14 points) nailed the game-tying three of the game with just one second remaining in the 2nd half.

                In overtime, Modzelewski laid up the game-tyer once again before Post University's Jake Wilcox landed the game-winning free throw. Senior Danny Watson put up the Knights first two overtime points, and junior Kevin Nascimento sank two from the free throw line to initially tie up the game in OT.  

                The Knights will next take on Felician College at 7 PM on Tuesday, November 13th. The game was originally scheduled to be played at the Maurice FitzGerald Gym, but due to recovery efforts on the campus of Queens College for those displaced by Hurricane Sandy, the game has been moved to Felician College in Rutherford, New Jersey.
