Towson Men's Basketball Earns Fourth Straight Win with Stifling Defense

ELON, N.C. – The Towson University men's basketball team won its fourth straight game with a 72-59 win over Elon on Thursday.
 
"We guarded at a high level, we rebounded at a high level and we didn't turn the ball over. Any time you get 15 more shots you got a shot," head coach Pat Skerry said.

KEY STATS
  • Dylan Williamson led the Tigers with 24 points on 6-for-9 shooting from deep.
  • Williamson and Tyler Tejada played over 30 minutes with 36 and 32, respectively.
  • Caleb Embeya recorded three steals for the second straight game.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Towson and Elon played to a 10-7 Phoenix lead before scoring dried up and neither team scored for three minutes.
  • The following minutes played even before Towson rattled off an 11-0 run over the next three minutes and 40 seconds to take a 22-15 lead.
  • A last second dunk by Jaquan Womack would punctuate a half where Towson entered the locker room up seven.
  • The Tigers kept a five to 12 point lead for much of the second half before Elon cut the deficit to four with 7:48 on the clock.
  • Williamson answered back on the next possession with a three-point dagger which started an eight point run to put the game away.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • Towson held Elon to its lowest scoring half in the first half on this game.
  • Dylan Williamson has led the team in scoring nine times this season. This was his second five rebound game this season, his eighth of his career.
  • Embeya posted his third game of two or more steals. His most in a single season.
