GAMEDAY: MEN'S BASKETBALL CLOSING IN ON PLAYOFF BERTH AS THEY HOST D'YOUVILLE

Staten Island, NY – The College of Staten Island Men's Basketball Team is back in action on their home floor later today as they host the D'Youville University Saints at 3:00 PM.  The Dolphins improved to 14-8 on the year and 8-3 in conference play with a victory over Daemen on Friday night.  The win moves the Dolphins close to clinching a playoff spot and secures them any tiebreaker against Daemen moving forward.  The Dolphins currently occupy the number two seed, but CSI would have tough time catching up to number one seed St. Thomas Aquinas as the Spartans have beaten them twice this season.  The Saints enter their matchup with the Dolphins at 6-16 and in desperate need of a conference win at 3-8 against the ECC.  D'Youville also played on Friday, but they suffered a loss against UDC to fall three games out of a playoff spot.  When the two teams met nine days ago, the Dolphins picked up an 84-71 victory to remain a perfect 5-0 against D'Youville all-time.
