Bangor, ME - The Castleton State College men's basketball team fell to 1-3 in conference play and 2-13 overall as the Spartans dropped a 94-78 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) contest at Husson University.

Castleton trailed 45-33 at halftime, thanks in large part to Matt McKenzie's 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting. The Eagles shot 51% for the half, and forced 13 Spartan turnovers before intermission. Kevin Cayea kept Castleton close, scoring 14 of his team-high 15 points before the break.

Husson proved to have too much depth, as the Eagles placed five players in double figures, led by McKenzie's 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting. Jay Urhin scored 18 off the bench on 7-of-9 shooting as the Eagles maintained their hot shooting throughout the game and finished 22-for-43 (51%). Scott Kissinger added 13, while Brock Bradford and Blaine Meehan each pumped in 10 for the 7-9 (4-1 NAC) Eagles.

Marcus Hass and Seth Harrington each joined Cayea in double figures with 12 and 10 points respectively.

The Spartans are back in action Tuesday, January 27 when they travel to Green Mountain College for an 8:00 pm tip-off.
