WATERBURY, Conn. – The Post University men's basketball team was unable to overcome a 26-6 second half run as it fell to Felician 92-78 in a key Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) home matchup Wednesday night at the Drubner Center. The Eagles fall one game back of the Golden Falcons for the final CACC Tournament spot with just five games remaining.
 
The pace was quick from the start and after a back and forth first half which saw each team hold leads of five points, the Eagles held a 44-41 advantage. Senior Tyler Desrosiers (Agawam, Mass.) scored 13 points in the first.
 
Post caught fire to start the second as is hit five of its first six shots, including eight early points from freshman Darrick Boyd (Springfield, Mass.), to jump ahead 58-48 at the 16:01 mark. Felician cut the gap to six points but a three-point play by Boyd with 12:30 to go kept the Post advantage at ten.
 
The tide changed from there as the Golden Falcons closed the game on a 32-8 run. Terrell Spalding scored 17 of his game-high 31 points in Felician's second half comeback.
 
Boyd finished with 19 points to lead the Eagles. Senior Joseph Lockwood (London, England) recorded a double-double matching a season-high with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Desrosiers added 15 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Sophomore Savion Boissard (Walden, N.Y.) scored 12 points.
 
The Eagles open a three-game road trip, their last of the season, on Saturday at USciences in Philadelphia. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m.
