The Riverhawks topped Butler on Saturday evening for a meaningful victory in a Region 20, Division 3 matchup. The long drive to Western Pennslyvania didn't seem to be a factor as the Riverhawks jumped out to a big lead in the first half. AACC distributed the ball well but it was Marcus Dentley's 25 points that led the team. Michael Ledbetter knocked down 12 points to follow suit. The remaining starting unit of Bennett, Stevenson and Brown tacked on 9, 9 and 8 respectively. Brown grabbed 12 rebounds leading the team in that category. Jamauri Goldwire was strong in support tacking on six points and five rebounds.
Butler outscored the Riverhawks in the second half but the 22 point lead carried into halftime was enough to earn AACC a 20 point victory.
The men hit the road for another long trip Tuesday as they travel to Penn Highlands. The Riverhawks will look to keep their momentum going in another Region 20, Division 3 contest.
