Terriers return with loss to Bryant
SFC defeated in borough's first sports event since March
The nearly nine-month wait for some sort of live sporting event to take place in our borough finally ended Tuesday afternoon on Remsen Street, albeit without fans and without a win for the St. Francis Brooklyn men’s basketball team.
Swingman Travis Atson scored 19 points and fellow graduate student Unique McLean added 18, but it wasn’t nearly enough as the Terriers returned to the Daniel Lynch Gymnasium at the Pope Physical Education Center with a season-opening 101-82 loss to Northeast Conference rival Bryant.
There hadn’t been any professional or collegiate games played in Brooklyn since March 12, when the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament was in progress at Downtown’s Barclays Center before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the global shutdown of sports.
