The Erie Community College men's basketball team competed in the Monroe College MLK Classic over the weekend, going 1-1.
On Saturday the Kats faced Rockland Community College, defeating the Hawks 97-47. Erie had four players in double digits led by sophomore A'Mag Tate. Tate had 24 points, seven rebounds and six steals. Hugo Silva put up 13 points while Dray Akin and Khamani Montique each had 10.
It was a different story on Saturday when Erie lost to the host team 90-61. It was a back forth game between the two team early on with the Mustangs jumping out to an early lead before the Kats would take a lead of their own. The teams would trade leads again before Monroe went on a 14-2 run at the end of the half to go into the break leading 51-38.
Monroe was able to control the play in the second half to secure the win.
Erie is now 10-6 on the season and will travel to Jamestown Community College on Wednesday for a 7:30 pm match-up.
