Thursday, February 9th, 2017
OCC forward Morgan Deland had 12 points and 9 boards
The SUNY OCC Lady Lazers continue to impress. They feature a stifling 3/4 court press and quickly move the ball with a UCLA/flex -type offense. The stat from last night’s game that stood out, however was that the three players pictured out scored the entire SUNY Broome Community College squad 42-38.
The final score was OCC 81 and Broome 38.
The team is now 21-3 overall, and undefeated in conference play. Their next game is against Jefferson Community College.
OCC forward Sam Britton had 16
OCC guard Jordan Vaught neted 14 (and also had 8 assists)

Behind local standouts such as Tyler Sullivan, James Walker and Quantae Elijah, OCC is now 20-6 overall and 6-2 in conference. They defeated SUNY Broome Community College last night 111-65. Their next game is against Jefferson Community College on Friday.

Tyler Sullivan, the fan, cheers on his old team on Saturday.
Former Liverpool guard Tyler Sullivan was in the stands to cheer on his former team at the Peppino’s Tournament last night. Liverpool was thumped by Ludden in front of a packed crowd.
Today, however, Sullivan came to ball. The Onondaga Community College freshman played a solid floor game and stuffed the stat sheet with a 19 point performance in 29 minutes of action. He shot 56 percent from the field, including 2 of 4 from three, and 78 percent from the line. He also added five assists and five steals. Quantae Elijah poured in 20 points as well.
