ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Jonathan Park totaled 25 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots and Nazareth held Cortland to 30 percent shooting from the floor and the Golden Flyers defeated the Red Dragons, 79-44, in the championship game of Nazareth's Mike Daley Memorial Tournament.
 
Cortland (2-1) was led by Austin Grunder (Trumansburg/Charles O. Dickerson) and Riley McEvoy (Homer) with nine points apiece. Grunder also led the Red Dragons with nine rebounds. Kareem Lubin (Monroe/Washingtonville) added eight points and Cal Shifflet (Buffalo/Williamsville East) finished with six points, six rebounds and two steals.
