Altimar led the Thoroughbreds with 21 points. Langyintuo added 20 points and eight rebounds off the bench.
Terron Victoria contributed 11 points and
Gerard O'Shea had a game-high eight assists.
“I thought Hartwick had a good game plan coming in and it took us out of rhythm early. I was pleased with how we adjusted in the second half” said Skidmore coach
Joe Burke. “It was good to see Jeff get in going, he is an extremely hard worker and I thought his performance had a positive effect on the rest of the team.”
“I thought Melvis gave us a tremendous lift off the bench, we rely heavily on his energy and he had a terrific all around game tonight” said Burke. “Hartwick is very well Coached and they have some terrific young players, this is a very good win for our program but we must get better.”
Jared Suderely led Hartwick with 27 points. Also for the Hawks, Andres Carpio had 19 points and seven assists and Chris Ryder added 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Skidmore had a huge 42-2 advantage in bench scoring and scored 32 second chance points off 31 offensive rebounds. The Thoroughbreds scored 19 points off 10 Hartwick turnovers.
