Monroe Wins Battle of NJCAA #1 vs. #2
Monroe ran up 38-18 halftime lead and maintained a double-digit margin the rest of the way to defeat NJCAA preseason #1 Southern Idaho 71-54 in the final game of the Mustangs Invitational at the new Monroe Ahletic Complex on November 5.
The Mustangs (2-0), ranked #2 in the preseason poll, dominated the perimeter game, getting 20 points from Drimir Ferguson and 18 apiece from Davon Marshall and Marco Bourgault.
Luke Cothron (#25 in picture at left) recorded game-highs of 21 points and 13 rebounds for CSI (2-1), which shot just 3-of-19 from the three-point line.
Both teams were in action at the invitational a night earlier, with CSI rallying to overtake Harcum (PA) 102-92 and Monroe coasting past upstate Genesee 77-39.
