St. Mary’s College Men’s Basketball Powers Past SUNY Maritime

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's basketball team closed out their Seahawks Holiday Classic on a 'merry' note Sunday afternoon (Dec. 15). A dominant second half propelled St. Mary's College (6-4) to a 78-51 victory over SUNY Maritime College (5-4).

  • St. Mary's College continued to distance themselves and a three-point shot by senior captain Jake Koverman (Severna Park, Md./Southern) ran the margin to 33-20 with 1:41 left in the half before heading into halftime with a 33-24 advantage.
