AMHERST, N.Y. - Make it nine straight wins for the nationally-ranked Daemen College men's basketball team as they canned a season-high 19 three-pointers en route to a 108-63 victory over Long Island University Post in East Coast Conference action here tonight. Daemen, ranked in the top-15 in both national polls for NCAA Division II, improved to 20-3 overall and 12-1 in league play, while LIU Post dropped to 0-21 overall and 0-14 in the league.

Eight players scored at least eight points for the Wildcats as they crossed the century mark for the second time this season. Jeff Redband (Batavia, N.Y.) led the way as he equaled his career-high for points with 23. The redshirt junior forward got hot early and finished with a career-high seven three-pointers. In the process of doing so, Redband became just the fifth player in team history to reach 200 three-point field goals in a career. He moved past Jordan Greene for fourth on Daemen's all-time three-point shooting list with 204 career threes. 

Andrew Sischo (Guilderland, N.Y.) played just 21 minutes but finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals. Earlier today, the reigning ECC Player of the Week was named to the Bevo Francis Award Top 50 Watch List, placing him squarely on the radar for the best player in all of Small College Basketball. 

Trevor Book (North Tonawanda, N.Y.), Jay Sarkis (Rochester, N.Y.) and Dmarco Barnes (Baldwin, N.Y.) all contributed to Daemen's three-point barrage and each reached double figures. Book shot 5-of-9 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range, finishing with a career-high 13 points. Sarkis nailed a trio of trifectas as part of his 11-point outing, and he added a game-high five assists. He's now reached double figures in four of the last five games. Barnes also drilled three from downtown and finished with 11 points. It marked his second career game in double figures.

Deion Hamilton (Rochester, N.Y.) and Quinn Lee Yaw (Jamestown, N.Y.) narrowly missed the double-figure party, finishing with nine points apiece. Lee Yaw also grabbed eight boards and dished off four assists. Ziv Basden (Nassau, Bahamas) finished with eight points and eight boards in only nine minutes of work, and Nick Petrucelli (Hicksville, N.Y.) shared game-high honors with five assists. 

Alonzo Ortiz-Traylor, the ECC's leading scorer at over 27 points per game, put up 31 points, 10 rebounds, four steals and three blocks while playing the full 40 minutes. He shot 12-of-29 from the field, and accounted for just less than half of the LIU Post point total. The Pioneer also got double-figure scoring from Kendell Ogilvie (11 points, seven boards) and Nah'Jel Sands (10 points).

Daemen raced out to a 13-2 lead by the first media timeout and really never looked back. Their first-half lead swelled to 50-27 late in the period, before settling on a 52-30 advantage at halftime.

The lead surpassed 30 points on a three-pointer by Breon Harris (Niagara Falls, N.Y.) with just over 10 minutes to play. Less than five minutes later, it surpassed 40 points when a Barnes three-pointer made it 100-58. 

Daemen shot 39-of-77 from the field (50.6%) marking the 10th time this season they've made at least half of their field goal attempts. The Wildcats lead the ECC in field goal percentage this season. Shooting 19-of-39 from three-point range, they made 10+ threes for the seventh time this season. It's the most threes Daemen has made in a game since making 15-of-32 in an 88-66 win over LIU Post on Jan. 25, 2017.

Daemen will close out their two-game homestand Sunday (Feb. 17) when they host New York Institute of Technology (2-21, 2-12 ECC) for a 3 p.m. tip-off. NYIT dropped a 96-84 decision at Roberts Wesleyan College tonight.
