PHILADELPHIA – The Felician College men’s basketball team shot a season-high 56.6 percent from the floor in its 78-50 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory over host University of the Sciences in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon at Morgan Arena.

Felician (6-6, 1-2) saw a 38-23 halftime lead cut to nine points with seven minutes gone by in the second half. But two three-point field goals by Golden Falcon sophomore Nijel Robinson (Plainsboro, NJ) book-ended an 11-0 run, putting his team ahead, 53-33, with 11:02 to play. USP never drew closer than 13 points after that, with the final 28-point margin Felician’s largest lead of the day. The Golden Falcons shot 65.2 percent in the second half, and a season-best 45.5 percent from three-point range (10-22) for the afternoon.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician College freshman Devon Young of Monmouth Junction has been named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men’s Basketball Rookie of the Week, the CACC announced today. It is the third such honor for Young this season.

The CACC considered games from Dec. 17 to Jan. 1 for today’s award. Young, a 6-foot-3 forward, helped Felician to a 2-1 record, all in road contests, during that time. He averaged 16.7 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 46.7 percent from the field. In a Dec. 21 victory at Southern Connecticut State University, he scored a season-high 28 points, including a game-winning jump shot in the final second for a 75-74 win.
