The Mavericks basketball team played crosstown rival Buffalo State in the Holiday Inn Classic on the campus of Buffalo State and the hosts proved to be too much for Medaille to handle as the Bengals cruised to a (78-44) victory. The Bengals stifled Medaille all night long as they held a (21) point advantage at the half. The Mavericks could not find an answer as their top scorer would be James McNeil (Erie, PA/Northwest Collegiate) who would lead the team with only (9) points. The Mavs will look to rebound tomorrow (12/16) as they will take on D'Youville College at 6:00pm in the consolation game. These two teams met on November 21, 2006 with Medaille coming out on top (76-70). The loss drops Medaille to (2-6) on the season.
