Greensburg, Pa. -  On Monday night, men's basketball took a short trip to Greensburg, PA for a conference match-up with the Pitt-Greensburg Bobcats. The Bobcats defeated the Mounties by the score of 96-59 inside Chambers Hall.

The Mounties came out with good energy and stayed competitive through the opening minutes, despite scoring 34 points in the first half. However, Pitt-Greensburg's offensive efficiency began to take control as the Bobcats carried a 54-34 advantage into halftime and pulled away in the second half behind sharp shooting and balanced scoring.

Mount Aloysius was led offensively by Ignacio Nascimento-Zschaeck (Barcelona, Spain, Springfield Commonwealth Academy (Mass.), who paced the Mounties with 12 points off the bench while going 4-of-7 from the field and a perfect 4-of-4 at the free-throw line.

Senique Jenkins (Columbus, Ohio, Imani Christian) and Donovan Bass-Briscoe (Alexandria, Va., Hayfield) each added 11 points, with Bass-Briscoe also knocking down a three-pointer.

Troy Tinch (Baltimore, Md., Calvert Hall) chipped in eight points, while Jordon Nelson (Charlotte, N.C., Hickory Grove) and Fin Hutchison (Murrysville, Pa., Franklin Regional) added six apiece.

Pitt-Greensburg, which entered the night at 12-2 overall after opening the season with 12 straight wins before dropping its previous two games to Westminster and Penn State Behrend, showed why it remains one of the AMCC's top teams. AMCC Preseason Player of the Year Trent Rozich led all scorers with 21 points on a perfect 9-for-9 shooting night, while Jackson Byer added 14 and Michael Bigley contributed 13. The Bobcats shot over 60 percent from the floor for the game and used their depth to outscore the Mounties throughout the second half.

Mount Aloysius (1-12, 0-5 AMCC) will look to collect it's first conference win this Wednesday, as they'll host the La Roche College Redhawks (4-10, 3-2 AMCC) at 7 PM.
