Philadelphia, Pa. – Redshirt freshman guard Jack Poirier (Scituate, Mass./Scituate) scored 14 points off the bench to lead the Le Moyne College men's basketball team to a 70-44 victory over the University of the Sciences on Sunday afternoon in non-conference action at Bobby Morgan Arena.

"It's always nice to get a win on the road," said head coach Nate Champion '14. "We have a long week ahead of us with two conference games coming up, but we enjoy the wins and winning on the road is even sweeter. Looking forward to being back home on Wednesday night!"

Poirier tallied nine of his game-high point total in the second half on a trio of three-pointers. Classmate Christian Davis (Denver, Colo./Mullen/New Hampton School) narrowly missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Nino Hernandez (Gardner, Mass./The Winchendon School/Bryant) was the third Dolphin in double digits with 11 points.

Austin Kennedy led the Devils in the setback with nine points.

The Dolphins jumped out to a 9-2 lead through the first three minutes of the contest. Redshirt freshman guard Kevin Constant (Lawrence, Mass./Central Catholic/Tilton School) made a pair of shots in the paint around a three-pointer by Hernandez and then Davis converted a lay-up.

The Devils answered with six straight points and nine of the next 12 to get within 12-11, but that's as close as they would get the remainder of the game. Kennedy buried back-to-back three-pointers and then Sean Simon answered a three-point play by the Dolphins with a longball with 12:54 remaining.

Le Moyne took control of the game with 22 of the last 27 points of the half, including the final 10. Hernandez started the run with a jumper in the paint off a steal and then Poirier drilled his first three-pointer.

After a three-pointer by Simon, Constant made a jumper, Davis made a lay-up and then third-year sophomore guard Jeremiah Washington (Chicago, Ill./Bogan/Ferris State) buried a three-pointer.

Following a lay-up by Simon with 4:28 left to get the Devils within 24-16, the Dolphins scored the last 10 points. Senior forward Nicholas Johnson (Silver Spring, Md./John F. Kennedy/Frostburg St./Montgomery College) had a dunk, Poirier knocked down a jumper in transition, Davis connected on a three-pointer and then Constant finished off the half's scoring with a three-pointer for a 34-16 lead at the break.

After USciences opened the scoring in the second half with a free throw, Davis recorded a conventional three-point play to give the Dolphins their first 20-point lead of the game.

Following back-and-forth action, the Dolphins ran off 18 of the next 23 points to take a 58-26 lead with 8:35 to go. Poirier and junior forward Xavier Wilson (Spring Valley, N.Y./Archbishop Stepinac/The Hotchkiss School/Central Connecticut State) each had six points in the stretch, while Hernandez made a pair of lay-ups and freshman guard Zy'Ever Wingfield (Richmond, Va./Henrico/Fork Union Military Academy) had a dunk off a steal.

After a 5-2 spurt by the Devils, Wingfield had another dunk and Hernandez made a fast-break jumper off a steal to give the Dolphins their largest lead of the game at 65-31 with 4:44 to play.

The Devils tallied the next nine points to trim their deficit to 25 with 2:51 remaining. Matthew McCaffrey made a pair of lay-ups and then Darius Brown had a three-pointer and a jumper.

The Dolphins scored the next five points before the Devils closed the game out with the last four.
