BROCKPORT, N.Y.—The College at Brockport senior guard Hamed Shamseldin erupted for a season-high 42 points to lead the Golden Eagles to an 89-83 non-conference win over No. 19 Hobart College tonight.
 
The Statesmen (2-1) had four players in double figures, led by Tucker Lescoe's 20 points. The sophomore made six 3-pointers, one more than Brockport (3-1) made as a team. Junior Jamal Lucas and sophomore Sam Allen both recorded 15 points and junior Colin Dougherty added 13 points. Junior Matt Walsh chipped in nine points and a team-high seven rebounds. First-year Dan Masino handed out a season-high eight assists.
 
Shamseldin's big night included a 12-of-21 shooting performance as well as a 17-of-20 effort at the free throw line. He also corralled a game-high nine rebounds, handed out a team-high six assists and made a game-high six steals. Justin Summers was the only other Golden Eagle in double digits, contributing 13 points and a game-high five blocked shots.
 
Hobart produced more points from the floor (78-59), but Brockport owned the free throw line. The Golden Eagles made more than three times as many free throws (30) as the Statesmen attempted (9).
 
Playing its home opener, Brockport charged out of the gate, building a 12-point lead less than six minutes into the game. The Golden Eagles made four of their five 3-pointers in the game during the opening surge. Over the next five minutes, Hobart chipped away at the lead, tying the game at 27 on a layup by Dougherty. Allen drained a 3-pointer to put the visitors in front, but Brockport reclaimed the lead and took a 43-41 advantage into halftime.
 
Lucas made a layup to start the second half scoring and Lescoe followed with a 3-pointer for a 46-43 Hobart lead. A five-point spurt by the home team wiped out the advantage, but Allen hit a 3-pointer near the 15-minute mark to give the Statesmen a 49-48 lead. It was their final lead of the game.
 
Brockport took the lead for good with eight straight points, including six from Shamseldin. Hobart trimmed its deficit to two three times over the final 12 minutes of the game, but never had a possession with a chance to tie or take the lead.
 
Dougherty's traditional 3-point play with 1:45 remaining made it an 80-78 game, but the Golden Eagles went 9-of-10 from the line to seal the victory.
 
Hobart will look to rebound from its first loss, on Friday, Dec. 1 at Union. The Liberty League opener for both teams, a rematch of last season's conference tournament championship game, will start at 8 p.m.
