SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University men's basketball team captured its second consecutive victory on Tuesday night as the Sea Gulls upended York (Pa.) College, 74-63, in a Capital Athletic Conference contest in front of a crowd of 293 at the Maggs Center.

The Sea Gulls (3-7, 1-1 CAC) were led by junior guard Greg Palmer who scored 20 points, three rebounds and made three assists. It was Palmer's fifth consecutive game with 11 points or more. Salisbury junior guard Devin Jones added 14 points and eight rebounds in the backcourt. Sophomore center Chris McGrew netted eight points and ripped down six rebounds. Senior guard Sean Whittaker added nine points and five rebounds off the bench for the maroon and gold. 

York (3-6, 1-2 CAC) claimed only two leads in the contest with the last on a Dylan Hoffman jumper at the 16:45 mark of the first half. At that point, SU would go on an 8-0 run and would never look back. The Sea Gulls would stretch their lead to as high as 19 on a three-pointer by Jones with a little under two minutes left in the first frame. Salisbury would carry an impressive 37-23 lead at halftime. In the first half, Jones scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds. SU was aided by an 8-for-28 shooting performance (28.6 percent) by the Spartans in the first half.

The Sea Gulls came out of intermission a bit sluggish as the Spartans cut the SU lead to six points, 41-35, just five minutes in. Salisbury would rebound with six straight points. SU's lead would not drop under 10 points until the eight-minute mark but Palmer would drain a three-pointer 10 seconds later to extend the lead to 11. In the second half, Palmer shot 8-for-8 from the free-throw line and tallied 15 points.

York had three players register double-digit scores in Nick Brady (13 points, eight rebounds), Julian Watson (13 points, three rebounds) and Matt Moley (10 points, three rebounds). The Spartans shot only 20 percent (2-for-10) from beyond the three-point line in the game.

The Sea Gulls will take a three-week layoff for winter break and will return to action in the New Year on Saturday, January 3. SU will welcome the Shoremen of Washington College for a 7 p.m. matchup between the two Eastern Shore rivals.
