BUFFALO, NY - Yet another example of unselfishness and sharing of the basketball led to yet another win as #1 Villa Maria eased to a 90-60 victory over SUNY ESF on Saturday afternoon inside the Villa Athletic Center.  It is the eighth straight win to open the season for the Vikings as they maintain their best start in program history.

Senior Dominic Douglas led the pack of five Vikings in double-figures as he scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting.  Fellow seniors Kwanique Martin and DeJaun Owens each scored 14 and 13 points respectively as well.  Martin, who made his first career start as a Viking, was one rebound shy of a double-double, while Owens added three blocks.  

Junior Daniel Thompson and sophomore Gerald Bibbs came off the bench to score 11 points apiece.  Bibbs had an impactful game all around, adding seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a game-high five blocks.  Thompson finished with four steals and four assists.

Villa forced 21 turnovers which led to 24 points.  Junior point guard Jabari Hibbert dished out a team-best seven assists and finished with a season-high seven steals.  Villa's bench out-scored that of ESF's 43-11. Villa freshman Kalon Kimble chipped in nine points and six rebounds in 21 minutes as well.
