RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Holy Family University men’s basketball team scored the final 10 points of its 79-69 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference men’s basketball victory over host Felician College on Thursday night at Job Gymnasium.

Felician had recovered from a 10-point first half deficit to tie the game, 39-39, at halftime, and led by as many as eight points in the opening minutes of period two.

The Tigers (8-3, 4-1) featured five double-figure scorers, led by 18 points from Raheem Scott (Philadelphia, PA). Edward Greene-Long (Winston-Salem, NC) had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Sydir Mitchell (Paterson, NJ) had 23 points and nine rebounds and Harper added 15 points for Felician.
