Neylon Reaches 1,000 Career Points, Cardinals Blast Greyhounds



WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sean Neylon went over the 1,000 career-point mark with a poster dunk for the Cardinals as they picked up a 73-49 victory over Moravian on Saturday afternoon. Neylon needed 10 points to cross the threshold and finished the day with a game-high 16 points as Catholic picked up its sixth straight victory. 

The Cardinals built a 13-point advantage less than 10 minutes into the game as a Jamie Ntiamoah steal and dunk put Catholic ahead 20-7 with 11:28 to play in the first half. The Cardinal lead grew to 17 after a Charley Hepting put back with 3:16 to play in the first half. Dan Buckley drained a three with 2:08 to go in the opening frame to push the lead back to 17, but the Greyhounds knocked down two threes to end the half and cut the lead to 36-25 at the break. 

Catholic opened the second half on a 7-0 run as Buckley picked off a pass and took it in for a layup to give the Cardinals a 43-25 lead. With 11:30 to play, Marquis Ratcliff hit a three to pull Moravian back within nine before Liam Cummiskey made it an eight-point game less than a minute later. 

Now leading 50-42, the Cardinals went on a 12-0 run to take a 62-42 lead. Neylon slammed down a dunk with 7:59 to play, putting him at 1,000 career points before canning two threes during the run to push the lead to 20. The Cardinal lead reached 24 as Ryan Pegg knocked down a three-pointer with 1:29 to play. Pegg would knock down another with nine seconds left to close out the 24-point victory.
