NYACK, N.Y. – The Post University men's basketball team fell to Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North rival Nyack 67-63 on Tuesday night. The Eagles now stand at 6-15 overall and 5-7 in CACC play.

The Eagles would take a 63-59 lead with 2:17 to play after a three-pointer by senior Tyler Desroisers (Agawam, Mass.), who finished with a game-high 26 points, and free-throw from classmate Joseph Lockwood (London, England), but would not score again and Nyack took advantage.

From there the teams traded leads down the stretch until a jumper by freshman Darrick Boyd (Springfield, Mass.) in the closing seconds gave the Eagles a 29-28 advantage at the break.
