Bronxville, N.Y. - The Adelphi men's basketball team traveled to Bronxville, New York on Saturday, February 2 to take on East Coast Conference opponent Concordia College. The Clippers built a 29-20 halftime lead that the Panthers were unable to overcome, picking up a 63-57 win. The loss drops Adelphi to 11-8 overall and 8-5 in conference play, while Concordia improves to 8-12 overall and 6-7 in the ECC. Adelphi and Concordia exchanged the lead a few times in the first 10 minutes of action, until the Clippers found a rythmn. Concordia outscored Adelphi 24-14 over the final 10 minutes to enter the half with a 29-20 advantage. The Clippers pushed their edge to a game-high 14 points, using an 8-5 run in the first four minutes of action in the second half. However, the Panther would not go quietly, using a 21-10 run to cut the Clipper lead to just three points, 47-44, on an Arjan Perovic three-pointer with 8:26 left in the half. But, that was as close as Adelphi would get as the Clippers extended the lead back to double digits before picking up the 63-57 win. Richard Fields led all players with 24 points, while Kenny Gaskins chipped in 14 points and seven rebounds for Concordia.
