Lasell University was victorious over Dean College 80-69 during their senior night, splitting the season series against the Bulldogs. Lasell improves to 12-12 with a 9-8 division record, and the Bulldogs drop to 14-10 with an identical division record. In his last home game, senior EJ Day scored eighteen points and recorded five steals and three blocks; but none performed better than sophomore, Conan McCusker, who led Lasell with nineteen points, six made three-pointers and three rebounds. As for Dean, junior AJ Weston scored a season-high twenty-six points, and junior Malik Spearman led the team with fourteen rebounds.
The Bulldogs could only muster a four-point lead before an eventual 8-0 Lasell run late in the first half blew the gates wide open, as Lasell ended with a 45-29 halftime lead. Dean College outscored Lasell in the second half 40-35, racking up twenty-one rebounds, making fourteen free throws, and shooting over 57% from three, but a sluggish end of the first half doomed the Bulldogs. Weston had his best performance of the season, shooting 4-6 from beyond the arc, and erupted with a twenty-one-point second-half performance.
Dean College will return to Pieri Gymnasium on Saturday, February 18th, for their senior day against Regis College at 3:00.
