NORTH EAST - Cecil College men's basketball closed out its holiday classic and the fall semester with a lopsided victory over the Pennsylvania Highlands Black Bears, 107-69 on Saturday afternoon.
The Seahawks had no lingering effects from Friday's offensive struggles, draining a season-high 41 attempts from the field. Cecil's 107-point showing is its highest since Nov. 22, 2022, when they dropped 108 points in a win over Baltimore City. This is also the Seahawks largest margin of victory (38) since a 102-63 win over Hagerstown on Feb. 7, 2022.
Cecil heads into the break with a 10-4 record on the season.
Turning Point
Penn Highlands scored the first basket of the second half to cut Cecil's lead to eight. The Seahawks responded with a 15-0 run over the next five minutes to blow the game wide open.
