Salisbury topples Gallaudet for first CAC win of 2009-10 season

Box Score

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Salisbury University men's basketball team earned its first win of 2010, topping Gallaudet University, 66-58, Wednesday night. The win is the second in the Sea Gulls' last three games and is their first in the Capital Athletic Conference this season.

Salisbury closed the first half on 30-13 run to take a 12-point lead into the locker room. The Bison (4-6, 0-4 CAC) would not go quietly, getting the lead back to single digits and staying within reach throughout much of the second half, but the Sea Gulls never gave in.

Junior forward Mike Maczko (Bel Air, Md.) scored 11 points in the second half to help keep the Sea Gulls on top. Maczko finished with a team-best 17 points, a career-high total.

Maczko also added 13 rebounds for his fourth double-double this season; it was one of two double-doubles by Salisbury on the night as senior guard/forward Greg Palmer (Salisbury, Md.) finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for his second double-double this season.

Three other Sea Gulls (5-6, 1-2 CAC) scored in double figures, marking the first time in the 2009-10 season that Salisbury has had five players score at least 10 points in the same game. Senior guard Devin Jones (Severn, Md.) scored 14 points while senior guard/forward Drew Dickson (Silver Spring, Md.) and sophomore forward Lee Righter (Columbia, Md.) each added 10 points. Jones was also good for four assists and had three steals without a single turnover.

Salisbury will take to the floor again on Saturday, when it hosts Marymount University at Maggs Physical Activities Center. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m.
