OLD WESTBURY, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball outscored the St. Joseph's College (L.I.) Golden Eagles (2-4, 2-1 Skyline) by 15 points (28-13) in the final 9:17 to capture an 88-79 Skyline Conference-opening win at home Saturday afternoon inside Clark Athletic Center.

Old Westbury (2-1, 1-0 Skyline) took its lone first-half lead 4:33 in off Yancy Ulysse's layup to go up, 6-4.  Leading for the majority of the opening period, St. Joseph's used a 13-4 run to build a 10-point cushion (32-22).  Preston Powell's three pointer kick-started Old Westbury's 15-6 spurt over the final 3:57 to head into intermission trailing, 38-37.      

The Panthers took a brief two-point lead early in the second half before St. Joseph's regained the advantage at 14:47 off a Trey Kinard three pointer (51-49).  Trailing by as many as six in the second half, Terrin Roland broke a tied game (73-73) with a three pointer to give Old Westbury the lead for good with 4:34 remaining.  Old Westbury solidified the come-from-behind win with a key 10-0 run sparked by Roland's triple and capped by Alan McDonald's layup with 1:02 left for the 87-79 lead.  

Roland finished with a career-high 20 points (7-of-12 FG) and season-high nine assists to go along with eight rebounds and four steals to lead Old Westbury.  McDonald followed with 19 points (7-of-10 FG) and six rebounds off the bench.  Julieon Boney chipped in 13 points (5-of-6 FT) while Powell scored 10 and nabbed three steals.

In the end, Old Westbury connected on 47.1 percent (32-of-68) from the field, 25 percent (6-of-24) from 3-point range and 72 percent (18-of-25) from the free-throw line.  By comparison, St. Joseph's hit 43.5 percent  (27-of-62) from the floor, 42.3 percent (11-of-26) from beyond the arc and 82.4 percent (14-of-17) from the charity stripe.  Old Westbury won the boards battle, 40-35, while scoring 13 second-chance points off 12 offensive rebounds.  The Panthers held the advantage in assists (19-15), steals (10-3), fastbreak points (16-5) and points in the paint (44-20) as St. Joseph's bench outscored Old Westbury's reserves, 31-29.  Both teams finished with five blocks even while the the Panthers scored 18 points off 19 Golden Eagle turnovers.
