NEWBURGH (Interstat) — Medgar Evers will visit Mount Saint Mary (N.Y.) in a men’s NCAA Division III basketball game Sunday at Kaplan Center in Newburgh, N.Y., with both programs seeking their first win of the young season.

Medgar Evers, nicknamed the Cougars, enters at 0-1. The Cougars dropped their opener to Maine Maritime 84-55 in their most recent outing. Coniel St. Remy is the player to watch for Medgar Evers after scoring 17 points and adding six rebounds, one assist and one block in that game. Xavier Ryan added eight points and six rebounds for the Cougars, while Jovan Germain finished with five points, five rebounds and four assists.

Mount Saint Mary (N.Y.), nicknamed the Knights, also enters at 0-1. The Knights fell at Cobleskill State 95-80 in their most recent game. RJ Delahaye is the player to watch for Mount Saint Mary after posting 26 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one block. Nazier Sanders scored 28 points and grabbed four rebounds for the Knights, and Brody Schuh added 12 points and eight rebounds.

Medgar Evers will look to support St. Remy on the offensive end while managing a Mount Saint Mary team that put together a strong scoring performance in its opener. The Knights will look to Delahaye, Sanders and Schuh to carry momentum from that effort into their home opener at Kaplan Center. Both teams are early in their nonconference schedules and are seeking their first victory. The Cougars and Knights both will be aiming to even their records before continuing nonconference play.

Mount Saint Mary is scheduled to continue its season with a game at Keystone before returning home to face Fairleigh Dickinson-Florham. Medgar Evers is next scheduled to play at Gallaudet. Those matchups follow the game Sunday, which will be the first meeting of the season between the Cougars and Knights.

Medgar Evers’ upcoming schedule includes a trip to SUNY Old Westbury, a home game against Mount Saint Vincent and visits to York (N.Y.) and Saint Joseph’s (Brooklyn). The Cougars also are set to host Baruch, Lehman and John Jay later in the schedule, with road games at Pratt and Brooklyn College mixed in.
