OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. (Feb. 4, 2017) - Five players scored in double figures Saturday to propel the LIU Post men's basketball team to a 94-83 win over East Coast Conference foe New York Institute of Technology at Recreation Hall.

Senior guard Jared Hall (South Orange, N.J.) collected 23 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double. He also dished out eight assists and swiped four steals. Senior forward Greg Dotson (Abington, Pa.) recorded a double-double (22 points, 11 rebounds), as well. Junior guard Kyle McLeggan (Jersey City, N.J.) poured in 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

Freshman guard Jared Rivers (Westbury, N.Y.) amassed 12 points, three rebounds and two assists. Freshman forward Kyle Doucette (Lynn, Mass.) added 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Freshman guard Tracy Cleckley (Queens, N.Y.) had five points, three rebounds and one block. Junior forward Hunter Powell (Tustin, Mich.) chipped in four points and four rebounds.

Leading 43-41 just over two minutes into the second half, the Pioneers (6-16, 5-7 ECC) reeled off a 21-6 run in a near eight-minute stretch to widen their advantage to 64-47 at the 10-minute mark.

Rivers and McLeggan each buried a three-pointer in the outburst. Hall, Doucette and Powell contributed a lay-up apiece. Dotson accounted for the last five points of the streak.

From there, the green and gold did not look back, en route to snapping a six-game losing skid. The Pioneers' stellar free-throw shooting also aided in the effort, making 24-of-31 attempts (77.4 percent) in the latter half.

In the opening 20-minute session, LIU Post, which led 43-39 at the intermission, owned as much as a 12-point advantage on a Doucette jumper with 5:19 to go.

For the contest, the Pioneers shot 50.0 percent (30-of-60) from the field, 55.6 percent (10-of-18) from three-point land and 75.0 percent (24-of-32) from the foul line.

Head Coach Erik Smiles and his LIU Post squad are back in action Wednesday (Feb. 8), when they host ECC opponent Mercy College at the Pratt Recreation Center in Brookville. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
