Men’s Basketball Achieves Program Highs
By Frank Flandina

Although it didn’t result in the ultimate goal – the Skyline Championship – it was still a banner year for SJC’s men’s basketball team. The Golden Eagles amassed the most wins (21) in program history, finished the conference regular season tied for first, and appeared in their second consecutive Eastern College Athletic Conference Tournament.  Previously, the program high for victories was 18 in the 1985-86 season, well before SJC entered the NCAA in 1997. 

As the No. 2 seed this year, SJC battled its way into the Skyline final where it ultimately fell to rival Farmingdale State, which dashed the Golden Eagles’ NCAA Tournament hopes.  SJC was still selected to the ECAC Tournament as the third-seed, where it hosted and fell to No. 6 New York University, 83-79.

Leading SJC was its potent backcourt of junior David Acree and senior Phil Lipari, who both eclipsed the 1,000-career point mark.  Senior forward Brandon Freeman was also instrumental in SJC’s run to the Skyline final, averaging 14 points per game and he was a two-time ECAC and Skyline Player of the Week. 

Coach John Mateyko was named the Skyline Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year, leading SJC to its first NCAA Division III Atlantic Region ranking.
