WALTHAM, MA, Dec. 4, 2006 - Elms College senior guard David Williams (Hartford, CT) dropped in a team-high 15 points, but Brandeis University junior forward Steve DeLuca (Merrimack, NH) tallied a game-high 18 points to help pace the host Judges to a 74-59 win over the Blazers in Monday night's non-conference men's basketball game at Red Auerbach Arena.
Elms College lost for the third time in its last four games and fell to 3-3. Brandeis is off to its best start in 34 years as it remained unbeaten at 8-0.
Brandeis (8-0) trailed by one point a couple of times early, but 9-0 run midway through the first half turned a 10-9 deficit into an 18-10 lead that the Judges never relinquished.
Junior forward Renato Lindmets (Springfield, MA) added 13 points and a game-high nine rebounds for the Blazers, who trailed 29-22 at intermission.
The Blazers had five blocked shots in the contest, including three by freshman forward Austin Sylvia (Seekonk, MA).
