Rutherford, N.J. (2/12/13)  The Dominican College men's basketball squad improved to 19-4 overall and 13-2 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) play after defeating host, Felician College, 88-77, this evening in a game played at Job Gym.

Dominican trailed 25-20 with eight and half minutes remaining in the first half when senior forward Daniel Woods (Upper Marlboro, Md.) recorded back-to-back layups to cut the deficit to a digit, 24-25.  Junior guard Khaleev Ginyard (Brentwood, N.Y.) followed with a layup of his own to give DC a 26-25 lead, but a Golden Falcon basket regained a 27-26 advantage.  Ginyard followed with a three-point bucket and from there the Chargers went on a 15-4 run, capped off by consecutive laups once again by Woods to build up a nine point lead (44-33) for the Chargers.

A Felician basket concluded first half play and made the score 44-35 at the intermission.

The Chargers never trailed in the second stanza and led by as many as 13 points (75-62) with 3:37 on the clock after two free throws from Ginyard.  A.J. Burton (New Rochelle, N.Y.) ended the scoring with a free throw for the final 88-77 win.

Woods led three Chargers in double figures with a career high 28 points and added seven rebounds.

Ginyard finished with 22 points (8-11 from the floor and 4-6 from the three point arc).

Senior Leon Porter II (Laurel, Md.) added 14 points in the victory, while Cory Quimby* (Otsivlle, N.Y.) tallied eight points, a team leading eight rebounds and tied his career high with six assists.
