GENESEO, N.Y. – Senior guard Eli Bryant (Staten Island, N.Y./Michael J. Petrides School) netted a career high of 30 points Saturday evening to lead the Plattsburgh State men's basketball team to a 92-83 victory over Geneseo inside the Louise Kuhl Gymnasium.

Plattsburgh State improves to 4-4 overall and 3-1 in the SUNYAC while Geneseo drops to 4-5 and 2-2 in the conference.

Sophomore guard Nick DeAngelis (West Milford, N.J./West Milford) recorded 13 points and junior guard Brandon Johnson (Greenburgh, N.Y./Woodlands) had 12.

Junior forward Ian Howard (Queens, N.Y./Springfield Gardens) picked up a career high of 17 rebounds for the Cardinals who recorded 38 overall.

The game was tied 13-13 with 13 minutes remaining in the first half when the Cardinals went on a seven point binge. Bryant started it with a jumper followed by a jump shot from junior forward Isaiah Hill (Brooklyn, N.Y./HS for Dual Language and Asian Studies) and Johnson drained a three.

Geneseo came within four points of the lead and Plattsburgh State went on a six point run to take a ten point advantage. Bryant put in a jumper, Johnson had a layup and Hill put in a jumper.
