Battle of Lexington: Men's Basketball Defeats Hunter (61-50) in Defensive Battle

The men's basketball team was able to complete a sweep of the Battle of Lexington with a 61-50 victory over rival Hunter College Hawks on Thursday night.

After trailing in the opening minutes, the Bearcats took control and led by five at halftime (28-23) after Jack Sixsmith stole a pass and assisted to his brother William Sixsmith for a long distance three that brought the boisterous crowd to its feet.

The victory was John Alesi's 100th career win as the Head Coach of the Bearcats.
