Canton, NY – Thirteen different players scored as the SUNY Canton men's basketball team earned an 83-64 victory against visiting Davis College on Saturday afternoon in the Roos House.

Sam Annorh (Queens, NY) led the offense with 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting in just 24 minutes of action. Romario Fletcher (Queens, NY) added 15 points hitting six of his nine field goal attempts and Kam Peterkin (Harlem, NY) posted 12 points in 15 minutes. Khalil Bratton (Queens, NY) added seven points and seven rebounds, while Scott Bartenstein (Potsam, NY) finished with seven in the scoring column.

SUNY Canton opened up an early eight point lead five minutes in after Annorh hit back-to-back three-pointers. The Roos (9-3) would lead by as many as 20 in the opening half as they took a 45-26 lead into intermission. Annorh paced the Roos with 15 points in the first half, while Fletcher added nine.

Davis (8-7) trimmed the lead to 10 points after Oral Johnson converted a hoop in transition with 12:25 remaining to get the Falcons within 56-46. However, the Roos regrouped and extended their lead to as many as 25 at 83-58 after Laquan Robinson (Spring Valley, NY) split on a pair of attempts from the charity stripe. The Roos would cruise late to the 83-64 victory.

SUNY Canton shot 49 percent from the field (32-for-66) and 45 percent from behind the arc (9-for-20). Meanwhile, the defense held Davis to marks of 35 percent on field goals and 25 percent on three point attempts. The Roos controlled the glass 55-37, while outscoring the Falcons in the paint (36-20) and off the bench (36-25).

The men's basketball team is back in action on Monday when it visits SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry at 6:00 p.m. The game will be played on the campus of Onondaga Community College.
