In a dose of spiritual medicine for a community hit by the coronavirus, Yeshiva University’s men’s basketball team continued its record-breaking season with a dominant second-round win in the NCAA Division III Tournament.
The Maccabees notched a 102-83 victory Saturday night over Penn State Harrisburg for Y.U.’s 29th straight win, behind a triple double from senior forward Gabe Leifer (10 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists) and a game-high 30 points from sophomore guard Ryan Turell. The Macs shot 65.1%, including 64.7% from 3-point range.
The game took place in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins University’s 1,100-seat Goldfarb Gym. Due to coronavirus-related concerns in Maryland, spectators were not permitted to attend the game.
