CALDWELL, N.J.  --  The sophomore guard duo of Isaiah Philbert (Bronx, N.Y.) and Jaiden Williams (New York, N.Y.) led the Cougars in scoring with 12 and 11 points respectively, as Men's Basketball (8-2) held off the Queens College Knights (3-7) 61-58 at the Newman Center.

Junior forward DeAngelo Horn (Castle Rock, Colo.) secured a season-high 13 rebounds on the night and finished a point shy of his second consecutive double-double.

Caldwell dominated the first half, building multiple 10 point leads and limiting Queens College to just 21 points.

The Cougars were up by 14 points (47-33) and (49-35) twice early in the second half at the 14:31 and 13:46 minute marks.

It looked like CU had separated themselves from Queens College, but the Knights were not about to give up that easily.

Queens took the lead (55-54) for a brief moment at the 4:00 mark.

Caldwell thwarted Queens College's comeback attempt with a big 3 from Jaiden Williams in a tie game (56-56) and two huge free throws from senior point guard Mark Heber (Paterson, N.J.) to help put the Cougars up 3 (61-58) at the 00:18 second mark.

CU will host the West Chester University of Pen nsylvania Golden Rams who are on a seven game winning streak on Saturday at 1 PM.
