Mercer County Community College (1-0) used a 19-2 run in the second half to open a tense season opener against the #9 ranked (NJCAA DII) Community College of Rhode Island, pulling away from a foe that defeated them twice last season.
Trailing 44-41 with 11 minutes to go, the Vikings hit three straight times from behind the arc on offense and freshman forward Gary Carthan absorbed consecutive charges on defense to create some distance from the visiting Knights.
Mercer plays against Community College of Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 pm ET in the second day of the school's MCCC Men's Classic.
