Monroe University-Bronx dominates from opening tip in NJCAA Region XV victory over Broncos

The Broncos' men's basketball team suffered an NJCAA Region 15 loss on Tuesday evening, falling to the Express of Monroe University-Bronx by a score of 98-42. The game took place at the Monroe Athletic Complex in New Rochelle, NY. With the loss, Bronx dipped to a mark of 0-21 on the 2025-2026 campaign, while the Express improved to 16-5.

Despite the loss for Bronx, Said Martin continued his stellar play during his rookie campaign, posting another double-double with game-highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He also swiped a pair of steals, as well. Timothaeus Graham added eight points, four rebounds, and two steals, and newcomer Bryan Teixeira finalized his evening with six points, four assists, three rebounds, and a steal.

Four players scored in double figures for the Express, including Moustapha Sarr, as he scored a team-high 14 points to go along with five rebounds and a game-high two blocked shots. Michael Samuda added 13 points, a game-high five assists, five rebounds, and two steals, and Ramsey Lewis finalized his evening with 13 points, two rebounds, and a pair of steals.

Monroe University-Bronx dominated the contest from the jump. With the Region 15 foes knotted at two apiece, the hosts rattled off eight consecutive points in a span of 1:44 to snatch a 10-2 advantage. Pittman and Steven McGriff scored four points apiece during that aforementioned spurt.

Bronx kept the game close momentarily, as a converted Teixeira layup brought the Broncos to within six (16-10) with 13:19 remaining in the first half, but a 17-0 run by the hosts essentially cooled any hopes of a comeback. Monroe University's 17 consecutive points transpired over a span of 8:56, and was highlighted by four points apiece from Caleb Dunn and Josmar Acevedo. Up 33-10 at that point, the Express then scored 11 of the half's final 18 points to take a 44-17 advantage as the horn sounded on the opening session.

Monroe University-Bronx's big run in the second half came in the form of a 12-0 spurt that transpired over a span of 2:18 to put the Express ahead 72-30. The hosts led by more than 50 points for the final 3:14 of action, eventually capturing the contest by 56 (98-42).

The Express were in an offensive groove all evening, earning a shooting percentage of 53.3 percent (40-75). Of those aforementioned 40 drained buckets, nine of them were from long range. On the flip side, the Broncos nailed just 27.9 percent of their shot attempts (17-61), connected on just two shots from deep.
