Canton, NY – Six different players scored nine or more points as the SUNY Canton men's basketball team used tremendous offensive balance to earn an 82-68 victory v. visiting D'Youville college on Sunday afternoon in the Roos House.

The Roos (3-0) picked up right where they left off using a 5-0 spurt out of halftime behind a layup from Annorh and three-pointer from Bratton to extend the lead to nine early in the second half.

SUNY Canton was in command throughout the final 20 minutes as the Spartans (1-4) never got closer than six points, while the Roos lead ballooned to as many as 16 (78-62) with 2:42 remaining.
