GLASSBORO, NJ – Andrew Seager scored a season-high 23 points to help Rowan to a 106-80 win over William Paterson in NJAC men's basketball action at Esby Gym. The Profs have now won four straight, improving to 4-2 and 3-0 in the NJAC. 

Seager connected on 8-for-11 from the field and grabbed 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the year.

Connor Dickerson scored 14 points and handed out eight assists, with Josh Wright netting 12 points. 

Rowan, which eclipsed the 100-point mark for the second time this year, took its biggest lead, 81-53, midway through the second half and matched that 28-point margin with the final score. 

The Profs held a 30-27 lead with 6:48 to play in the first half, and broke open the game with a 24-3 run over a span of five minutes to take a commanding 53-30 lead. Seager had 12 points during the stretch with Connor Dickerson chipping in eight. The Profs connected on 57 percent (20-for-36) from the field in the first half as they held a 53-35 advantage at halftime. 

William Paterson (4-3; 1-2 NJAC) led briefly, 15-11, at 14:07 of the first half, and the teams were tied four times after that, but the Profs eventually took the lead for good, 28-25, on a three-pointer by Ross with 7:21 to play in the opening half. 

Rowan shot 50 percent (34-for-68) from the floor and made 12 three-pointers in the game. Two of them came from freshman Chris McCarron, who made his Rowan debut by knocking down both long-range shots he took. 

The Profs have a quick turnaround and will host Cabrini in a non-league game on Monday, December 5 before heading to Rutgers-Camden on Wednesday, December 7. Rowan then returns home on Saturday to face Ramapo at 1 p.m.
