Hudson Valley Community College's men's basketball program dropped a close home match 88-84 to SUNY Adirondack in the McDonough Sports Complex at HVCC on Sunday afternoon. 

The Vikings fell behind early in the opening minutes but recovered with a 17-2 run over the next 8 minutes of the first half, but Hudson Valley couldn't hold on as they ran into foul trouble and added in untimely turnovers late in the game, when they were trailing by one score down the final stretch of the game, allowed Adirondack to keep their lead and earn the season sweep on Hudson Valley.  

Leading the way for the Vikings were Trevor Green and Jourdan Belcher, who combined to score 44 points, 20 rebounds four assists and four steals on the day. Demani Benjamin continued to play well as he scored 19 points on 8-of-18 shooting and added eight rebounds in 33 minutes of action.  

The loss gives the Vikings its first loss as part of a back-to-back weekend on the season and they are quick to return to the court this Tuesday, January 24 when they welcome North Country to the McDonough Sports Complex at HVCC. The game is scheduled to begin around 7 p.m., following the conclusion of the women's game at 5 p.m.
