Close Road Loss for Spartans

Rebounding and defensive struggles hurt the Cayuga Community College Men's Basketball Team in their road loss to SUNY Broome on Saturday.

Less than one month after Cayuga used a monster second half to defeat Broome in Auburn, the Spartans lost 95-90 to the Hornets. The loss drops Cayuga to 7-13 overall and 3-6 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference.

Guards Deonte Holder, Stanley Beato and Jacob Ramirez led the Spartans' offense. Holder had 26 points, six assists and four rebounds, while Beato had 22 points and eight rebounds. Ramirez had 14 points, eight assists and two steals.

The Spartans have their final home game of the regular season on Wednesday, February 12, when they host Finger Lakes Community College (14-10, 5-5). Cayuga defeated the Lakers earlier this season 84-77. Tip-off is 7 p.m. in Spartan Hall.
