Oneonta, NY (November 16, 2019) - Senior Kweku Dawson-Amoah was named the Tournament Most Valuable Player leading the DeSales University men's basketball team past Alvernia University, 75-72, to take home the Quality Inn Tournament title at Oneonta on Saturday afternoon.

The Basics

How it Happened
  • A back-and-forth first-half saw Alvernia finish the half on a short 8-5 spurt to take a 37-32 lead into the halftime locker room.
  • DeSales quickly erased the halftime deficit using a 10-2 run to take a one-point lead early in the second half.
  • The game went back-and-forth over the next several minutes as the Golden Wolves clung to a one-point (55-54) advantage with 7:28 left to play.
  • Junior Matt Kachelries hit a 3 on DSU's next possession sparking a 13-2 run giving the Bulldogs a commanding 67-57 lead with 4:46 left on a three from senior Alex House.
  • It was still a 10-point game after a lay-up from Dawson-Amoah with 31 seconds left before AU hit consecutive layups around a Bulldog turnover and a 3 after DSU missed two FT's to pull within three points with seven seconds left.
