WASHINGTON, D.C.--Gallaudet and Catholic offenses followed the opening tip with "tit-for-tat" offenses, the lead seesawing for the first 18 minutes, both sides producing 21 points each.  The Cardinals would prevail off Bisn fouls and paint points, 70-52.

Jon Mowl, Jonathan Valencia, and David Farias lit up the scoreboard with dial-ins from downtown, and Mowl added another long-range notch to his opening half performance. Gallaudet came back from an opening nine-point deficit to tie the game

Catholic took advantage of key Bison fouls to go ahead off free throws and blocks from big men Stephen Wheeler and Patrick Dwyer. Gallaudet's Jon Mowl and Sekoe White both took charge of the offense, producing a combined 12 points in a dead heat against the 1-2 of Cardinals Scott Fumai and Mike Wasilenko, who also teamed up for 12 points.

The Cardinals went into the half up by 8 points, 32-24, with the Buff and Blue ready to take the momentum back as second half action started.

Catholic had other things in mind as they put together an 11-5 run to pad their lead.

Valencia worked the baseline getting baskets in between big men to nip at the lead and close to within eight points, and then Mowl helped out with another downtown dial-in to freeze the Cardinal offense and come within six, 47-41.

That was as close as the Bison would get, despite valiant efforts from White, who fouled out with 5 minutes to play. Gallaudet's other big man, Onye Davis followed suit at the 3-minute mark.

Jon Mowl closed off the Bison scoring in the closing minutes with a pair of back-to-back treys. He would finish with a team-high 15 points and four assists. Valencia added 13 points, while Sekoe White garnered 11 and a team-high 6 rebounds.

The Bison (4-20, 1-14 CAC) hit the road in the season-ending conference matchup against Marymount on Saturday, February 17th.
