Broncos edged by Sharks, 78-77, despite shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor

The Broncos' men's basketball team came close to solidifying its first victory of the 2024-2025 campaign, but the team came up just a tad short, falling to the Sharks of Suffolk County Community College by a score of 78-77. With the loss, Bronx slipped to a mark of 0-6 on the year, while the Sharks improved to 1-3.

James Wenzel led all players with a game-high 25 points, connecting on 11 of his 16 attempts from the floor. He also added three assists and three steals, as well. Matayus Kola netted 14 points, snatched seven boards, and contributed three assists, and veteran Abraham Richter (4-6 FG, 5-6 FT) posted a double-double, scoring 13 points and collecting a game-high 15 boards. Newcomer Alexander Hattel scored 11 points and added four rebounds, as well.

Leading the way for Suffolk was Kanye Jackson, as he drained five of his seven attempts from downtown, finishing with a team-high 22 points to go along with four rebounds and three steals. Matthew Rintoul, Daniel Faustin, and Rufino Oliva scored 13 points apiece, with Rintoul also grabbing five rebounds, and Zamie Gilbert netted seven points, and grabbed a team-best eight rebounds.

The Broncos trailed by seven at halftime (37-30), and outscored the hosts 47-41 in the second half. Bronx had an opportunity to win the game in the closing seconds, but Wenzel missed a dunk, clinching the victory for the Sharks.

Both teams shot incredibly well on the evening, with Bronx earning a 59.6 percent conversion rate (31-52), and Suffolk hitting on 25 of its 54 attempts from the floor (46.3 percent). The Broncos held a 34-25 edge on the glass, while also registering 12 steals to the Sharks' nine. Bronx doubled-up Suffolk in assists (14-7), and the Broncos also won the turnover battle, committing 15 miscues, while the Sharks finished with 18.

The Broncos will return to action Thursday evening, as Bronx will host Columbia-Greene Community College. Start-time at Alumni Gymnasium is scheduled for 6:00pm.
