Nashville TN – December 30, 2005 - After almost a two week layoff for the holidays, the Comets got back on track today with a win over Belhaven College in the Trevecca classic. Crichton got of to an early double digit lead in the first half and never looked back. The Comets went into the half with a 13 point lead and all the momentum.

The second half was much the same as Crichton came out, executing with intensity, and pushed the lead to over 20. Belhaven made several small runs but never got the lead to single digits. Despite committing 16 turnovers in the second half, including a stretch of six consecutive possessions, the Comets' lead was never in serious jeopardy. Crichton improved their record to 8-4 and are enjoying a four game winning streak with each win coming on the road.

Derek Boykin led all scorers with 19, also adding 6 assist 5 rebounds and 2 steals.  DeShawn Danzey recorded another double double with 11points and 14 rebounds. Jonathan Loe (15) and Brian Gibbs (11) rounded out the double figure scoring for the Comets. James Bryant led the way for Belhaven with a double double of his own, scoring 17 and pulling down 11 rebounds. The 70 points scored by the Comets represents the lowest point total of the season. Fortunately the 52 points allowed by Crichton is also the lowest point total allowed by Crichton this season.

Final Score: Crichton 70 - Belhaven College 52 

Player of the Game: Derek Boykin

Next up the Comets stay in Nashville for a second day at the Trevecca Classic. The Comets will take on Indiana Wesleyan College on December 31st at 2 p.m.
