PHILADELPHIA – The USciences men's basketball team outscored Chestnut Hill by seven in the second half, but the Devils could not overcome a strong first half by the Griffins in a 73-55 loss on Tuesday night. 

CHC (5-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC)) scored the first six points of the contest and would lead throughout, including 45-20 at the half. 

Jordan Davidson led University of the Sciences with 15 points, the game's second-highest total, highlighted by making 5-of-6 free throws. 

Omari Salvi neared a second straight double-double with 10 points and a team-best eight rebounds, while Zachary Foley was also in double-figures with 10.
