(Valhalla, NY) - Sophomore Monte Lambert (Brooklyn, NY/James Madison HS) scored 24 of his 26 points during an incredible second half of play, and added four rebounds and four assists, and sophomore Miles Haughton (Mamaroneck, NY/Mamaroneck HS) scored 32 points to go with eight rebounds and seven assists as the Westchester Community College Men's Basketball team downed visiting Rockland Community College, 105-91 on Saturday afternoon at Viking Gymnasium. With the win, Westchester CC improves to 16-8 for the 2018-19 season after winning four of their last five games. Westchester also finished the season 5-3 in Region XV and Mid-Hudson Conference play.

The Vikings led wire-to-wire despite a spirited effort from the visiting Hawks, taking a 7-0 lead, and never looking back. Westchester led 42-33 at halftime and extended the lead to 14 points early in the second half, before Rockland went on a run to bring the game within two points with 12 minutes to play. However, Lambert was outstanding during the final 20 minutes, going 8 for 8 from the floor during that stretch as he failed to miss a field goal during the game. Led by Lambert, the Vikings went on a run of their own, extending the lead to as many as 24 points before Rockland made the game as close as nine points with just over a minute to play. However, a late Viking spurt allowed the hosts to break 100 points for the fourth time this season.

Also for Westchester CC, freshman Joe Zayer (West Nyack, NY/Clarkstown South HS) added 12 points and six assists, while freshman Fabian Johnson (New York, NY/Our Savior Lutheran) enjoyed a terrific all-around game with 12 points and eight rebounds. All five starters scored in double figures for WCC.

Westchester shot a season-best 58% from the floor, and out-rebounded Rockland 37-35.

Westchester CC returns to action on Thursday, Feb. 21 when the Vikings travel to Nassau Community College for a 7:00 p.m. start.
