 PHILADELPHIA,
Pa. - The Caldwell College men's basketball team dropped a Central

Georges (Vauxhal, NJ/Spotswood), freshman guard John Reed

second left in the half.
USP opened the second half with a 10-4 run to take a 38-33 advantage

that put Caldwell ahead 43-40 at the 11:12 mark. But USP scored the

Cougars never got closer than eight points the rest of the way, as
the Devils won for the second time in three games.

points to go with nine rebounds. Georges finished with 13 points,
while freshman forward Sam Cricelli (Brighton, England/Culham)
