Patchogue, NY| The St. Joseph's College (L.I.) men's basketball team suffered a 52-30 defeat to non-conference rival Trinity College inside the Danzi Center on Saturday afternoon.
The loss sends the Golden Eagles to 3-12 on the season as the Bantams improve to 13-4.
Senior Mike Harris recorded a game-best 10 points and was credited with three rebounds. Senior Isaiah Moore went for six points and five rebounds and fellow classman Jarred Marrow grabbed a team-high six boards.
Trinity's Joe Bell matched Harris with 10 points on 3-for-6 shooting from the field.
A low-scoring first half yielded just 39 points split 24-15 in favor of the guests.
