BANGOR, Maine – The Husson University men's basketball team got 21-point outings from senior Eric Ahlers and sophomore Connor Heald and rode a 52-point first half to a 101-83 victory over SUNY Delhi on Monday evening at Newman Gymnasium in North Atlantic Conference play.

The Eagles allowed Delhi (2-11, 1-5 NAC) to lead for just a brief three-minute stint near the start of the game before slowly taking control over the course of the first half.

After a three-pointer from the Broncos cut the Husson lead down to five with 8:17 left in the opening frame, the Eagles answered with a 19-5 run over the next five minutes to open up a 19-point lead, which would be its largest of the half.

Hot shooting from beyond the arc propelled the Eagles on their run, as they drilled five three-pointers during the stretch and shot 7-14 overall from three in the first half to take a 52-37 edge into the locker room.

Ahlers and Heald led the way with 21 points apiece, while Ahlers scored 15 of his points in the opening half and recorded his third double-double of the season with a season-high tying 13 rebounds and four assists added to his stat line. Heald recorded an efficient shooting performance with an 8-13 clip, while also dishing out four dimes.

Junior Andre McCauley totaled 18 points on 6-10 shooting, in addition to grabbing a career-best eight rebounds, while senior Ty Henke got going from beyond the arc, recording 15 points on five three-pointers off the bench.

Senior Gil Matondo filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, four rebounds, five assists and three blocks, as the Eagles shot 52.3% from the floor for the game, including 44.4% from three-point range.

Husson outrebounded Delhi 44-28 and dished out 23 assists on 34 made field goals, while connecting on a season-high 21 free throw attempts.
