Patroons get payback win

Albany avenges loss to Syracuse in convincing fashion

The Albany Patroons avenged their loss this weekend with a convincing 134-102 win over the visiting Syracuse Stallions on Wednesday in a The Basketball League clash at Washington Avenue Armory.

Syracuse snapped Albany’s eight-game winning streak with a 106-99 victory on Sunday in Liverpool but the Patroons cruised at home to get back in the win column in the back end of the home-andhome.

Albany held a slim 2926 advantage at the close of the first quarter but put away the game in the second, outscoring the Stallions 32-18 to take a comfortable lead at halftime.

Devon Dillard scored 30 points and AJ Mosby added 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to lead the Patroons, who climb to 17-3.

Kobi Nwandu had 22 points for Syracuse, which dropped to 12-6.

Albany returns to action on Saturday back at the Armory against the Tri-state Admirals.
