Men’s Basketball Makes Season Debut With 105-95 Win Over Clarkson

POTSDAM, N.Y. – The No. 14 Plattsburgh State men's basketball team opened up the 2018-19 season with a 105-95 win over Clarkson University Tuesday night in Alumni Gymnasium.

Senior guard Brandon Johnson (Greenburgh, N.Y./Woodlands) and junior guard Nick DeAngelis (West Milford, N.J./West Milford) each recorded career highs in points with Johnson leading the Cardinals with 28 points and DeAngelis came off the bench to score 23 points including going seven for seven from the free throw line.

Senior forward Jonathan Patron (Huntington, N.Y. / Harborfields) logged 27 points. 

Senior forward Ian Howard (Queens, N.Y./Springfield Gardens) picked up 10 rebounds while Patron had nine and DeAngelis recorded five.

Clarkson scored two baskets to start the game and Plattsurgh State went on a six-point run to take the lead.

Patron put in a jumper, senior forward Isaiah Hill (Brooklyn, N.Y./HS for Dual Language and Asian Studies) had a layup and Patron put in another jumper.

The Cardinals had a 13-point advantage with 7:51 left in the first half and Clarkson came within four points with 1:27 left.

DeAngelis drained a three and Johnson dunked after Howard stole the ball with five seconds left to lead 45-36 at halftime.

The second half proved to be more of a battle with Plattsburgh State only out-scoring Clarkson 60-59.

Plattsburgh State started the second half with a jumper from senior guard/forward Chris Middleton (New York, N.Y./Cardinal Hayes), a layup from Johnson and two free throws by Patron to take a 15-point edge.

Clarkson came within four points of the lead halfway through the second half but a three-pointer from Patron and a layup by Johnson kept them afloat.

The Cardinals took their largest lead of 20 points with five minute left in the game and Clarkson was able to come within seven points with 37 seconds left in the game.

One free throw from Parton and two by Johnson at the end of the game sealed the Cardinals ten-point season opening win.
