CORTLAND, N.Y. – The Ithaca College men's basketball team had its three-game winning streak halted on Tuesday night as the Bombers fell to Cortland, 103-65, in a non-conference matchup inside Corey Gym.  The loss moved Ithaca's season mark to 3-2 while the Red Dragons improved to 3-1 with the win.

Peter Ezema notched his third consecutive double-double after scoring a game-high 22 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field.  The sophomore also hauled in 12 rebounds including four on the offensive end of the court.  Matt Flood had 12 points while Carroll Rich finished with eight points and four assists.  Junior Marc Chasin added seven points, five rebounds and four helpers overall.

As a team, Ithaca shot an uncharacteristic 7-of-33 (.212) from behind the 3-point line and 25-for-69 (.362) from the field. The Bombers also committed 17 turnovers, which led to 23 points for the Red Dragons.

Ithaca held the lead over the first four minutes of action as Flood, Rich and Chasin each scored inside, but from there Cortland outscored Ithaca 20-7 over the next 10 minutes to take a 15-point lead, 26-11, midway through the opening stanza.

The Red Dragons continued to knock down shots and eventually built a 27-point lead after burying four 3-pointers over the final three minutes of the first half as part of an 11-2 run to hold a 50-23 edge heading into halftime.

In the second half, Ithaca would come to within 17 points, 73-56, but Cortland strung together a 21-1 run that ate up nearly seven minutes of clock en route to the 103-65 win.

The Bombers will look to get back on track at 7 p.m. on Friday when they head north to take on the St. Lawrence Saints in Canton.
