The Game Last Time Out Stonehill College earned its first NCAA Division I win with an 82-77 triumph over Army West Point at Christl Arena Saturday afternoon. Stonehill, which is in its first year of a four-year transition to full NCAA Division I status as a member of the Northeast Conference, shot 63.3-percent from the floor in the first half on its way to a 44-34 halftime lead and held off a second half Army rally to clinch its first win at the Division I level. Fifth-years Andrew Sims and Isaiah Burnett combined for 40 of the Skyhawks 82 points on the afternoon. Sims reached 20 points for the second-straight game, finishing with a game-high matching 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting, with a season-high eight rebounds, two blocked shots, an assist, and a steal, while Burnett added a season-best 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting, with three boards, three assists and three steals. Junior Jalen Rucker led Army with 21 points on 6-of-15 shooting, converting 7-of-8 free-throws, to go with six rebounds and three assists. Freshman Coleton Benson added 20 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 3-for-6 from three-point distance, converting all five free-throws to go with three boards and a steal.
