Purchase, NY----In dramatic fashion, the Brooklyn College men's basketball team picked up their first win of the season over Manhattanville College, 55-54.  BC sophomore forward, Elisha Park, was Friday night's hero, draining the game-winning foul shots with no time left in regulation.  Brooklyn moves to 1-4 overall with the non-conference victory while the Valiants drop to 2-1 with their first loss of the season.  The Bulldogs will look to keep it going on Saturday in the Manhattanville AJ Buchanan Tournament Championship against Kean University at 6pm.

Brooklyn started off slow, scoring their first point six minutes into the contest, trailing 10-1.  However, the Bulldogs would claw their way back into the game and cut the Valiants' lead to 17-16 following a made three buried by sophomore guard, Zuric Harvey.  

The Bulldogs held the Valiants to 8.7% shooting from beyond the arc for the night.
