It didn?t take long for the College of Staten Island?s high-scoring guard at make his presence felt Saturday night as the Dolphins rolled to a 83-52 victory over Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in the opening round of the 11th annual Tournament
of Heroes.
Magloire, a key component to last season?s 26-5 team that won two games in the NCAA Division III Tournament, hit his first shot of the season ? a 3-pointer from the top ? to give CSI a 18-15 lead six minutes into the game.
The Dolphins did not trail thereafter.
?He?s an explosive offensive player who makes a big difference,? said CSI coach Tony Petosa after watching his team extend its winning streak to six while improving to 6-1. ?No question he can really make teams worry.?
Magloire, a 6-foot-3 Susan Wagner HS product, finished with 17 points in his first action after missing the first six games due to an academic issue.
The visiting Trailblazers (3-7) had plenty of other matters to worry about, however. Junior point guard Jonathan Chadwick-Myers had a game-high 18 points, while 6-11 Dylan Bulger (12 points, 12 rebounds) and Matt Van Manen (11 points, 10 rebounds) contributed double-double numbers.
The Dolphins ran at will and sophomore forward Javon Cox was active with eight points, nine rebounds and a dominating seven blocked shots that tied a school single-game record.
?We don?t have as much depth or athleticism as we had last year,? said Petosa of the NCAA Sweet 16 qualifier, ?but we can be a very good defensive and rebounding team.?
CSI raced to a 43-28 halftime edge and used a 14-5 run to build a 57-33 lead just six minutes into the second half. The host team shot 51.7 percent from the floor while holding MCLA to 26.2 percent (17 of 65).
The Dolphins also owned a 48-39 rebounding advantage and blocked 12 shots, the second highest total in school history.
CSI advances to Sunday?s 3 p.m. championship game against Methodist (N.C.), an 86-71 opening-game winner over SUNY Institute of Technology.
The Dolphins have never won their own Tournament of Heroes title, although Petosa said that isn?t an obsession with his young squad.
?We want to get better every day,? he said. ?We want to win games and we want to become a better team.?
Now that Magloire?s back on board, those goals are looking better and better. ?
