Kessler’s Career Marks Help Lift Army

The Army West Point men's basketball team ended a three-game skid with a thrilling 52-47 victory at Holy Cross here Wednesday night. Jacob Kessler was the man of the night, notching a career high in points and rebounds. The yearling finished 6-of-9 from the floor, 3-of-6 from behind-the-arc and 2-of-2 at the free throw line for a team-best 17 points. He added nine rebounds, including three on the offensive glass to lead the Black Knights in that category as well. Jordan Fox added 10 points, while Matt Wilson chipped in nine after going 4-of-5 from the floor and 1-of-2 at the charity stripe. Rookie Tommy Funk dished out a team-best four assists to go along with John Emezie's two steals and two blocks. Army held the 32-25 edge at the break but an 8-0 run from the home team to start the second half quickly erased any deficit and handed Holy Cross the one-point lead at 33-32. Read More
