Alfred, NY – The SUNY Canton men's basketball team reached the 15 win mark with a 67-42 win against host Alfred State College on Sunday afternoon. The wins are the most in a season in 17 years since the 1997-98 squad went 19-7 under legendary coach Erich von Schiller. 
 
SUNY Canton (15-5) shot 40 percent from three-point range including knocking down six in the opening half. Three of those treys came from sophomore Adam Felt (Lisbon, NY) who helped the Roos go on a 14-3 run during a 3:35 stretch of play in the opening half.
 
Felt broke the 6-6 tie with his first knockdown from distance and Romario Fletcher (Queens, NY) followed with a flush. After a Dan Gormley three got the Pioneers within two SUNY Canton responded with three consecutive threes, two from Felt and the other from Kevin Baksh (Brooklyn, NY). The Roos took a commanding 35-16 lead into break.
