(Presque Isle, Maine)- Despite a strong second half the SUNY Canton men’s basketball team lost to the University of Maine at Presque Isle on Saturday as they fell 90-73 in Maine.

SUNY Canton rallied from a halftime deficit shooting 51 percent from the floor in the final 20 minutes and sinking 11 of 13 free throw attempts (84 percent). But the Owls were equal to the task as they also shot over 50 percent from the field in the second half and missed just three free throw attempts.

Tony Valentin (Perth Amboy, N.J.) had another solid night for the Roos as the senior pumped in 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting after pouring in 38 points the day before against the University of Maine at Machias. Valentin buried three triples, was 3-for-4 from the free throw line, handed out three assists, and made two steals.

Khalid Vaughn (New York, N.Y.) added 11 points and two assists. Rob Sanders (New York, N.Y.) had 10 points and six rebounds in just his second game of the year. Silvon John (Bronx, N.Y.) added nine points and four rebounds and Jajuan Williams (Richlands, N.C.) had seven points and six assists for the Roos (0-4 Sunrise Conference, 1-10 overall).

Patrick Manifold led three Owls’ in double figures with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Kyle Corrigan added 23 points and eight assists.
