WAYNE COUNTY (Jan 5 11) – University of Buffalo freshman forward Javon McCrea (Newark) got a taste of the collegiate big time last Thursday when 16th-ranked Brigham Young came to town. He got the start in the game, scored 15 points, took down four rebounds and made three assists. He also blocked a shot and made a steal…but the Bulls fell, 90-82, but kept the game close.
Monday night, the Bulls got a win over Cornell, 78-66, and again Javon was a starter, scoring seven points, blocking two shots, grabbing seven rebounds and grabbing two steals. The Bulls are now 8-4 and begin their Mid-America Conference season this weekend when Bowling Green comes to town.

Sophomore starting guard Alyssa Fenyn (Newark) scored seven points against Alcorn, took in two rebounds, and made one assist.
