Per the D3hoops.com scoreboard:

Lehman 62, Hunter 58

The Hawks suffer their first conference defeat of the season. They're now 6-1 in CUNY action. Hunter beat Lehman earlier in the year at home, but lost this one up in the Bronx. Perhaps xalva66 will have a first-hand report on the game.

As I noted earlier, Hunter barely got by both CSI and Medgar Evers before falling to Lehman today. York, on the other hand, won all of their conference games by double digits before losing to John Jay last night.

This conference always has its share of surprises, so I'm sure there will be a few more as the season progresses.

I noticed Hunters top player Bernard did not play against Lehman.  Does anyone know  the story behind him not playing.  Without him on the court Hunter is a much different team and Lehman beating them is not as big of a deal.
    Once again watch out for Medger as soon as their new players get thier chemistry down with the rest of the team they will be tough.

Stevens Tech 95, Hunter 80

Stevens led from the beginning of the contest, fought off a couple of Hunter runs and then cruised to victory down the stretch.

The Ducks' trio of Virgil Gray, Anthony Passalacqua and Waleed Farid were a bit too much for the Hawks to handle. All three are aggressive, athletic and versatile scorers, who consistently beat Hunter defenders all game long. This trio was effective inside, outside, in the open court and in the half court as well.

Hunter got a strong effort from John Yannaco. Chris Garrick was horrible in the first half, but played well in the second half. Gerard Ciarleglio was the Hawks' high scorer, but his overall play was inconsistent.

It appears that Hunter will be without the services of Chris Bernard for the rest of the season. He is no longer on the roster. This is obviously a big blow for the Hawks. Bernard was probably the best player in CUNY.

ANY word on Bernard? Why is he out? Is he out the remainder of the season?? Someone?

Chris Bernard was not listed on the program for the Stevens Tech game and, according to the Hunter website, he is no longer on the team's roster. I think it's safe to assume he won't be back this year. And Hunter--obviously--misses him.

With the conference schedule about 75% complete, York has demonstrated that they're the best team in CUNY. The Cardinals are atop the South Division with a 7-1 mark, followed by CSI at 4-4 and Medgar Evers at 4-5. CSI is weaker than usual, but they're still dangerous. Medgar has the talent, but needs to get it together.

In the North Division, Hunter leads with a 6-2 record, with Baruch next at 6-3 and John Jay at 5-4. With the loss of Bernard, all bets are off. This division is up for grabs, and there's a great deal of parity. Despite losing Bernard, Hunter still has the talent to compete but there's little room for error. Plus, it appears that morale could be a factor as well. Baruch is playing without Kunkel, but the Bearcats are hanging tough. John Jay has been playing well lately, including a big win over York.

RS you are so right since john jay beat york they are flying high right now but i do agree with u  that york is still yhe most powerful team in cuny today they brooklyn college i know they goin to come out throwing punches bc john jay beat them there 5 games left for i saw the region ranking they are 8 no other cuny team is that close so if they win the rest of there games and i think the playoofs games will help them to possible win the region and get a number 1 or 2 seed finshing with 20-5 region if they come play the rest of the yr. hunter loss there best player and baruch and john jay are right there fighting fot the north title. every game counts for every one now it is crunch time lets see who wants it more?

[TheBeast]

york won today by 17 i think baruch is the new number 1 team in the north john jay lost the north side of the conference is in a battle while york got the south on lock they are now 8-1 and should run the the floor with everbody else they play echols had 21 and 18 rebs boone 17 and 11 they did what i though they were goin to do and they won by double digits

[Rhodes Scholar]

I watched Baruch defeat Hunter this afternoon, 96-82. The game was tied at 37 at the intermission, but Baruch thoroughly dominated Hunter in the second half and won going away. Hunter had no answer for either Carl Emengo or Phil Schatz. Emengo made it look easy by nailing outside jumpers and consistently beating the Hunter guards off the dribble, while Schatz repeatedly abused a variety of undersized Hunter defenders with a soft baby hook down low. Emengo finished with 27 points and Schatz had 21. Adrian Serrano was next with 17, including 5 three's.

Hunter continues to struggle without Chris Bernard. The Hawks played a good first half, but were blown out in the second stanza. It doesn't look like anyone is stepping up and showing some leadership. In addition, the team seems to lack confidence and is not particularly sound on fundamentals. Even without Bernard, they have the talent to win, but it remains to be seen if this team can come together and get the job done. Hunter was paced by Gerard Ciarleglio with 23 points. Lance Evans was next with 15 and Patrick Phillips had 12.
