WATERVILLE, MAINE – The Fisher College Men's Basketball team snapped a three-game losing skid this evening with a 99-78 win over Thomas College. The Falcons are now 13-7 overall on the season while the Terriers dip to 8-14.

Five different members of the Fisher program reached double-figures in the win, led by junior Joel Finney (Los Angeles, Calif.) 21-point effort. Seniors Brian Rios (El Paso, Texas) and Dakota Gillespie (El Paso, Texas) netted double-doubles with Rios totaling 19 points and 11 rebounds to Gillespie's 14-point, 10-rebound outing. Junior Ke'Andre Penceal (Coram, N.Y.) finished with 18 points and rounding out the double-digit efforts was sophomore Jad Red (San Antonio, Texas), who came off the bench for 15 points.

Thomas saw junior Parker Desjardins (Jackman, Maine) record a game-high 27 points off the bench. The 5-10 guard was 11-for-20 from the field, including drilling 5-of-10 from beyond the arc.
