BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Loyola University Maryland shot 55.2 percent from the field, 58.2 percent from behind the 3-point line, and all five of the Greyhounds' starters scored in double-figures Saturday during an 83-65 road victory against Binghamton University.
 
Andrew Kostecka led the balanced scoring effort with 13 points, while KaVaughn Scott and Chuck Champion each had 12. Brent Holcombe added 11 and Isaiah Hart tallied 10. Scott had a game-best nine rebounds, and Champion grabbed eight, to help Loyola (4-6 overall) controlled a 38-26 advantage on the glass.
 
Sam Sessoms scored the game's first five points for Binghamton (3-7), but after he sunk a three at 17:52 in the first half, the Greyhounds went on a 12-0 run and did not allow a Bearcats basket until a Chancellor Barnard dunk with 11:44 was left in the first half.
 
During Binghamton's scoreless stretch of more than six minutes, Jaylin Andrews and Sam Norton all knocked down 3-pointers, and Kostecka had a pair of baskets in the paint. The Bearcats got back within four, 17-13, on a Barnard layup at 9:22, but Loyola tallied 12 of the next 16 points to push the advantage to 29-17 on an Andrews' layup with 5:38 on the clock.
 
Andrews scored a career-high nine points, all coming in the first half.
 
Binghamton had another rally to draw within four, 29-25, when Caleb Stewart made two free throws at 2:49. James Fives responded with a three from the top of the perimeter at 2:32, and Chuck Champion wrapped two jumpers around a Sessoms basket to give Loyola a 36-27 lead going into halftime.
 
The Bearcats cut their deficit to five with a Sessoms three and a Barnard free throw to start the second half, but the Greyhounds came back with the next seven points on jumpers by Hart and Kostecka and a Holcombe three.
 
J.C. Show, Binghamton's second-leading scorer who was held to 10 points and none in the first half, made a three with 13:54 left in regulation, cutting Loyola's lead to 49-45, but Champion responded with a  three from the right wing.
 
After two Bearcats free throws by Richard Caldwell, Jr., Kenneth Jones made a three and Champion knocked down another jumper. Holcombe then scored twice in a row in the paint, the first off an offensive rebound, extending the lead to 15 with 10:37 on the clock.
 
From that point until the final buzzer, Binghamton did not get closer than 12.
 
The Greyhounds have now shot 56.5 percent from the field in their last two games after knocking down 57.7 percent of their attempts Wednesday night at Drexel University. Loyola's 10 3-pointers tied its season-high, as well.
 
Loyola had 20 assists with just 10 turnovers in the game. Champion and Norton each had four assists, while Hart and Jones dished out three apiece. Hart also had a game-high three steals.
 
The Greyhounds remain on the road for their third game in seven days when they travel to face the University of Maryland on Tuesday, December 11.
