In a competitive matchup on Thursday night, Central Connecticut State emerged victorious over LIU with a final score of 63-50, largely thanks to Jordan Jones’ impressive performance, contributing 17 points to the team’s success.

Alongside his scoring efforts, Jones retrieved five rebounds and secured three steals, showcasing his all-around game for the Blue Devils, who now stand at 15 wins and 6 losses overall, with a conference record of 6-2 in the Northeast Conference. Jayden Brown also made a significant impact, scoring 12 points while shooting 60% from the floor, and Davonte Sweatman added to the tally with 11 points on 50% shooting.

On the opposing side, the Sharks were led by Terell Strickland, who notched 19 points along with three steals, though his efforts were not enough to secure a win.

Looking ahead, both teams are set to continue their seasons on Saturday. Central Connecticut State will be on the road, facing off against Stonehill, while LIU will travel to compete against Chicago State.
