NORTHFIELD, Vt.—Five different players scored in double-digits to lead the visiting Falcons of Albertus Magnus College to a 78-61 men's basketball win against the Cadets of Norwich University in Saturday's Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) matchup at Andrew's Hall. 

With the loss, the Cadets fall to 3-5 and 0-2 in GNAC action, while Albertus Magnus remains undefeated at 7-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.

Albertus Magnus saw a game-high 17 points from senior Jefferson Lora.  Darius Watson and James Jennings both contributed 12 points for the Falcons, while Julian Sanders added 11 and James Economopoulos chipped in with 10.  Watson also totaled a game-high 11 rebounds to notch the afternoon's only double-double.  Arshad Jackson dished out a game-high four assists for Albertus Magnus.

The Cadets ran with the Falcons for the first six minutes of the game, holding the lead once and forcing two ties in the early minutes of the first half. With 13:18 remaining in the half, the Falcons scored eight unanswered points, setting the score to 15-7. Albertus Magnus would extend the lead to 18 in the first half and carried a 15-point lead into halftime.

Norwich opened the second half with five-straight points on an old-fashioned three-point play by Brandon Kuhre (Cornish, N.H.) and a layup by Evan Tullar (Chelsea, Vt.) to cut the Falcons' lead to 10 points.  The Falcons would answer with back-to-back three-point baskets by Jennings to open the gap again for the Falcons, who would lead by as much as 24 in the second half.

The Cadets, who shot 33.3 percent on the afternoon, were led offensively by Josh Cabrera (Providence, R.I.) and Tullar, who both totaled 14 points.  Cabrera shot 6-10 from the floor, 1-2 from three-point range and 1-1 from the free-throw line, while Tullar shot 6-13 from the floor and 2-2 from the charity stripe.  Nickolai Havoutis (Coral Springs, Fla.) added nine points for Norwich and Alex Preckol (Westford, Mass.) contributed seven points.

The Cadets are idle until January 3, 2013, when they travel to take on Stevenson in non-conference action.  Tip-off is slated for 4:00 p.m.
