Hudson’s 21 Helps Bentley to 2nd Straight Dominating Win, 97-56 over Concordia (N.Y.)

WALTHAM, Mass. – Senior forward Chris Hudson (Hodgdon, Maine/Northampton Williston School) scored 21 points and sophomore guard Mason Webb (Oklahoma City, Okla./Bishop McGuinness HS) followed with 17 as the Bentley University men's basketball team overpowered Concordia College (N.Y.) 97-56 in the final game of the Bentley Tip-Off Classic Saturday evening at the Dana Center.

Bentley, which won its opener over Wilmington University (Del.) Friday night by 35, shot 53 percent overall and 61 percent from three while crushing the 0-2 Clippers on the boards, 53-24.

Eight straight points by Bentley, including a pair of baskets from Hudson, enabled the Falcons to double the Clippers after ten minutes, 20-10.

The lead grew to 19 at the break, 43-24, following a 12-1 Falcon run over the final five minutes. Hudson knocked down three of four free throws to ignite the run and senior guard Seth Stankiewicz (Reading, Pa./Reading HS) had seven of the final nine, including a pair of three-pointers.

Coach Jay Lawson's team put the game away with 15 unanswered points during a span of 3:45 early in the second making it 60-27. Junior guard Jordan Mello-Klein (Sharon/Thayer Academy), who had a triple-double a night earlier, scored seven of the 15 on a mid-range jumper, a driving lay-up and a top-of-the-key three-pointer.

Two free throws from sophomore forward Adria Amabilino Perez (Barcelona, Spain) with 5:38 left gave Bentley its biggest lead of the night, 83-41.

Hudson, five of eight from the field and seven of eight at the foul stripe, also had eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a team-high plus-37. Webb's stat line included three of five from downtown, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

Stankiewicz and Mello-Klein also scored in double figures, with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Stankiewicz sank three of four triples coming off the bench and Mello-Klein also provided nine assists and six rebounds. Amabilino Perez finished with eight points and 11 rebounds in 16:39 off the bench.
