Husson to battle vs. Dominican today

BANGOR – The Husson College men’s basketball team will try to extend its seven-game winning streak today with a non-conference showdown against nationally ranked Dominican College of New York.

The Braves are the No. 20 team in the latest National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics poll, while Dominican is riding a 10-game win streak and enters with a 17-5 mark and the nation’s No. 28 ranking. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at Husson’s Newman Gymnasium.

Husson has compiled a 16-4 record (9-1 against Maine Athletic Conference foes).

The game will present an interesting clash between the nation’s sixth-leading scorer, Husson sophomore Robert Pilsbury (24.2 points per game) and a Dominican defense that ranks third in the country at 63.6 points per game.
