SCSU Men's Basketball Falls to Caldwell

Box Score NEW HAVEN, Conn - Southern Connecticut men's basketball dropped a non-conference matchup against Caldwell, 83-63. The Owls fall to 2-4 on the season. 

Justice Ellison led the way with 24 points. Simon Percy and Cherif Diarra each grabbed 7 boards, and Makai Coleman scored nine off the bench.



It was a tightly contested first half, with neither team able to find a groove offensively. The Owls were able to jump out to a small lead, thanks to some key baskets from Justice Ellison. Diarra was dominant on the defensive end, totaling three blocks and two steals. Caldwell, however, would bounce back and find their shooting stroke, closing the gap and ultimately taking the lead 34-26 heading into the break. 

Caldwell continued their hot shooting to start the second half, maintaining a double-digit lead. Three-pointers were a major factor, with Caldwell knocking down nine three pointers on solid efficiency. The Owls mounted multiple comeback efforts, but were unable to climb all the way back, ultimately falling 83-63. 

The Owls have a quick turnaround, taking on Felician on the road on Wednesday, December 17th.
