(Valhalla, NY) - Sophomore Miles Haughton (Mamaroneck, NY/Mamaroneck HS) scored 17 points and added five rebounds, and freshman Robert Pope (Bronx, NY/Lehman HS) scored 10 points and added five rebounds, but the Westchester Community College Men's Basketball team lost their second consecutive game, 105-73 to County College of Morris - the nation's 16th ranked team - on Thursday night at Westchester Community College. With the loss, the Vikings are now 11-7 for the 2018-19 campaign.

It was a tale of two halves on a rainy Thursday night as the two teams went toe-to-toe for the opening 20 minutes. Westchester led the game four times during the first half, and trailed by only a single point in the final minute of play before halftime, but a late CCM three-pointer gave the visitors a 36-32 lead at halftime.

The first half stats were nearly a wash as CCM shot 40%, compared to Westchester's 36%, the Titans out-rebounded the Vikings 24-20, and each team had 10 turnovers.

However, the second half was a completely different story. A Fabian Johnson (New York, NY/Our Savior Lutheran) lay-up with 17:11 to play brought the Vikings to within three points, 45-42. However, a Westchester technical foul immediately after Johnson's basket gave CCM new life, and from there, the Titans went on a 27-4 run over a seven-minute span to blow the game wide open. From there, CCM coasted to the win.

The second half saw CCM shoot 67% from the floor - compared to Westchester's 46%. In addition, the game seemed to turn on the turnover battle as CCM turned the ball over only twice over the final 20 minutes, while Westchester had 16 turnovers during that span. For the game, the Vikings out-rebound CCM 43-35.

Johnson added eight points and five rebounds for WCC, Joe Zayer (West Nyack, NY/Clarkstown South HS added seven points.

Westchester CC will look to get back on track on Saturday, Jan. 26 when the Vikings welcome Rowan College at Burlington County for a 3:00 p.m. start.
