MANHATTAN, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball played from behind from the jump Tuesday evening as the Yeshiva University Maccabees (15-5, 13-2 Skyline) extended their winning streak to 14 games with an 88-66 Skyline Conference decision from Max Stern Athletic Center in Manhattan.  The Panthers (13-9, 11-6 Skyline) are now 8-5 against the Maccabees since the 2013-14 season.

Leading from the opening tip, Yeshiva put together a 9-2 run capped by Ryan Turell's fastbreak dunk to give the Maccabees a 10-point lead (18-8) with 11:22 left in the first half.  Chase Johnson sank a free throw at the 9:56 mark to cut Old Westbury's deficit to single-digits (20-11) before Yeshiva scored seven of the game's next nine points to extend its lead to 14.  Old Westbury answered with seven-unanswered points as Justin Alleyne-Washington contributed five to pull the Panthers within seven (29-22) with 4:54 remaining. Both teams traded baskets in the final 4:06 to send a 33-26 game into intermission.  

The Panthers misfired on four-consecutive attempts from the field and made two turnovers to fall behind by 13 points (39-26) early in the second half.  Old Westbury would get as close as seven (61-54) with 8:01 remaining as Pedro Marquez dialed in from long distance three with 8:01 remaining. The Panthers missed seven-straight field goals while Yeshiva went on a 15-1 tear to build a 76-55 lead with 4:48 showing on the second-half clock.  Simcha Halpert scored nine points as Yeshiva sank seven-consecutive shots from the floor during a 24-3 run to take a commanding game-high 28-point lead (85-57) with 2:59 left.  

Alan McDonald scored 19 points (2-of-4 3FG) to pace Old Westbury.  Marquez played 40 minutes to register 17 points (7-of-8 FG), four assists and three steals while Alleyne-Washington followed with 13 points (4-of-4 FT) and four steals. Stanley Baker chipped in team highs of seven rebounds and three blocks.  

Turell led Yeshiva with 26 points (11-of-18 FG), seven rebounds, six steals and five assists.  Gabriel Leifer contributed 20 points (9-of-12 FG), 12 rebounds and six assists to the win. Halpert added 18 points (7-of-13 FG) and landed 4-of-9 from deep.  

Old Westbury shot 35 percent (21-of-60) from the field, 25 percent (6-of-24) from three-point territory and 78.3 percent (18-of-23) from the free-throw line.  Yeshiva connected on 55.6 percent (35-of-63) from the floor, 36.4 percent (8-of-22) from beyond the arc and 66.7 percent (10-of-15) from the charity stripe. The Maccabees won the boards battle, 44-24, scoring 13 points off 10 offensive rebounds, while outplaying the Panthers in assists (22-11), bench points (10-5), points in the paint (46-28) and fastbreak points (10-4) .  Old Westbury turned 20 Maccabee turnovers into 17 points.  Both teams drew even in blocks (4-4) and steals (10-10).
