2/17/2007 - Junior Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond's) notched his ninth double-double of the 2006-07 season with 10 points and 11 rebounds, and the Mount Saint Vincent freshman class combined for 44 points, but the Mount's Men's Basketball team ended the 2006-07 season with a 112-58 loss to Farmingdale State during a game played at Farmingdale State on Saturday. With the loss, the Mount finishes the season with a 3-22 overall record and 1-15 in Skyline Conference play, but the fact that the Mount won twice during their final five games and pushed powerhouses Stevens and Old Westbury to their limits during the last two weeks of play means that a very young Dolphin team without a single senior will have a lot going for them as the 2007-08 season approaches.

2/15/2007 - There is something about the number 11 that is magic for the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team. A year ago, #11 for Mount Saint Vincent became the all-time leading scorer in the history of the program en route to a second straight First Team All-Conference campaign. On Thursday night, the magic returned as on "Throwback Thursday" sophomore Tim Biolsi (Bronx, NY/Cardinal Spellman) wore the same #11 jersey ... and played the best game of his young career. Biolsi's career-high 32 points paced the Mount, who went toe-to-toe with the Skyline Conference's #3 team, but unfortunately a terrific effort was not enough as Old Westbury raced out to a double-digit lead early and held off the Mount, 108-93 during Mount Saint Vincent's final home game of the 2006-07 season. More...

2/13/2007 - Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball freshman Kevin Garlan (Jackson Heights, NY/Archbishop Molloy) was named the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week this week after a tremendous stretch during which the Mount finished 1-2. During a Monday loss to Skyline Conference powerhouse Stevens that was far closer than the final score indicated, a Thursday win over Green Mountain College, and a Saturday loss to St. Joseph's (LI), the forward averaged 13.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game. Garlan is the second Dolphin to earn Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week this season. More...

With the loss, Mount Saint Vincent falls to 3-20 overall and 1-13 in Skyline Conference play. More...

2/8/2007 - You have to hand it to the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team ... when they win, they win big. Thursday night marked the Mount's third win of the 2006-07 campaign, all of which have come by margins of 20 points or more. The hard-fought, 70-49 win over Green Mountain (VT) College was significant not only because it improved the Mount to 3-19, but it also marked their second win during the last four games, giving the Dolphins the opportunity to end the season next week on a very high note. But Green Mountain, who travelled 239 miles to play tonight's game, did not make it easy. More...

2/5/2007 - The young Dolphins are growing up, and growing up quickly. Ony 48 hours after going toe-to-toe with Yeshiva University, the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team took to the court for a showdown with Skyline Conference leading Stevens Institute of Technology on Monday, two weeks after the Ducks routed the Mount by 24 points. During an incredible 33-minute run, Mount Saint Vincent out-ran, out-hustled, and outplayed their powerhouse counterpart, leading by as many as 11 points. Ultimately, the deeper and more physical Ducks ran away with a 91-76 win, but after Mount Saint Vincent carried play for most of the game on their home court, it is clear that the Dolphins are a strong competitor in the Skyline Conference.  More...

With the loss, Mount Saint Vincent falls to 2-18 overall and 1-11 in Skyline Conference play. More...

2/1/2007 - After nearly three months of seeing his squad hang tough with some of the best teams on their 2006-07 schedule, but find a way to lose, Mount Saint Vincent Head Coach Michael Murphy finally got his wish on Thursday night. Not only did the Mount score a 96-58 win over Centenary College to break a 16-game losing streak, but they turned in a performance of effort and execution that can only be described as the most impressive showing by a Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team during Murphy's two-year tenure as Head Coach. This wasn't just a win, it was complete domination as the Dolphins stopped competing like a young but talented team trying to learn the college game, and for a brief moment on Thursday night looked like they are destined to fulfill the potential that Murphy has been touting since the earliest days of the season. More...

1/30/2007 - Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball freshman Kevin Garlan (Jackson Heights, NY/Archbishop Molloy) was named to the Skyline Conference Honor Roll this week after a terrific stretch during which the Dolphins went 0-2.

After averagi ng 22.3 points and nine rebounds per game for the week, Charlton was named to the PrestoSports/Metropolitan Basketball Writers' Association (MBWA) Honor Roll, marking the first time during his career he has been honored by the MBWA. Charlton's statistical week was a terrific week by just about any standards, but considering that all three games were against teams that participated in the 2006 NCAA Tournament, his numbers were downright unbelievable. More...

1/6/2007 - When Mount Saint Vincent Head Men's Basketball Coach Michael Murphy looks back at this weekend's Sig Makofski Tournament at Union College, he may only see two more losses in a nine-game losing streak that has dropped a very young Mount team to 1-10 for the 2006-07 season. Then again, with all of the positives that were produced despite an 0-2 stretch this weekend - including a 91-78 loss to Elms College in the consolation game on Saturday - he may look at this weekend as the beginning of the end of the rebuilding process he inherited a a year and a half ago. During consecutive games against solid teams from Union College and Elms, the Mount hustled, battled, and at times shot the ball like a veteran team, when in fact a majority of the Mount's production came from freshmen. The results from the games may have been disappointing for the Dolphins, but the message that the young Mount team is ready to play no matter how strong the competition could be what the Mount brings back to Riverdale as Skyline Conference play commences this week. More...

1/5/2007 - Junior Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond's) continued his recent stretch of fine play, scoring a career-high 26 points, and adding a team-high five rebounds, but the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team fell to 1-9 with an 82-74 loss to Union College during the opening round of the Sig Makofski Tournament at Union College on Friday night.

1/2/2007 - The first games of 2007 for the Mount Saint Vincent Men's & Women's Basketball teams proved to be quite a challenge for the Dolphins on Tuesday afternoon as Mount Saint Vincent lost both ends of a doubleheader to national powerhouse NYU as the Men's team opened play with an 86-47 loss, while the Women's team fell 75-33. The twin-bill marked the beginning of a crucial stretch of games for both teams as an important series of Conference games are right around the corner. More...

12/9/2006 - Three days after one of their most disappointing outings of the 2006-07 season, the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team took to the court on Saturday and, despite losing to the defending Skyline Conference Champions, Farmingdale State, put forth an effort that can only be described as enouraging as the Dolphins enter the 2007 portion of their schedule. Sophomore Tim Biolsi (Bronx, NY/Cardinal Spellman) scored a game-high 20 points and added five assists and five rebounds, and junior Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond's) added 18 points and five rebounds, but the Mount fell to 1-7, 0-3 in Skyline Conference play with an 83-70 defeat. More...

12/6/2006 - Freshman Marquise King's (Albany, NY/Albany HS) three-point attempt at the buzzer rattled in and out of the basket, giving Centenary College a 76-74 win over Mount Saint Vincent on Wednesday night during a game played at Mount Saint Vincent. During an incredible game that featured eight ties and 15 lead changes, Centenary scored the win in the final seconds as Centenary's Kyle Warner (Severn, MD/Annapolis HS) hit a jumper with 0:03 seconds remaining in the game to give the Cyclones the lead. After a time-out, Mount Saint Vincent's long in-bounds pass was tipped out of bounds by Centenary, giving the Dolphins one final shot at a tie or win.

More...

12/4/2006 - Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball freshman Marquise King (Albany, NY/Albany HS) was named Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week for the third consecutive week after another incredible stretch.

More...

12/2/2006 - Junior Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond's) scored 11 points and added team-highs in rebounds (six) and steals (four), and freshman Marquise King (Albany, NY/Albany HS) scored a game-high 35 points on 14 for 20 shooting, but the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team lost its fourth straight game, 88-78 to Yeshiva on Saturday night during a game played at Mount Saint Vincent. With the loss, the Dolphins fall to 1-5 overall and 1-0 in Skyline Conference play. More...

11/29/2006 - It was everything to be expected when two fierce local rivals get together for their annual Men's Basketball battle.

On Wednesday night, the annual match-up could only be described in one word ... unforgettable. More...

11/27/2006 - There are approximately 97 regular season basketball games remaining in the career of Mount Saint Vincent freshman Marquise King (Albany, NY/Albany HS). And the way he is going, every one of them is going to be both memorable and noteworthy ... particularly if the "rest" of his career is anything like what he has already accomplished. For the second straight week, King, a shooting guard, was named Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week after a show-stopping performance during a loss to powerhouse SUNY IT last Tuesday. King is the only Men's Basketball player in the Skyline Conference to earn Rookie of the Week honors this season having earned the honor both times it was awarded - and rightfully so. More...

11/21/2006 - It's hard to believe it, but he's three games into his Mount Saint Vincent career and freshman Marquise King (Albany, NY/Albany HS) just scored 35 points and the effort was not a career-high. During another outstanding performance, King - this week's Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week after scoring 36 points during his collegiate debut last Friday at Eastern Connecticut State - scored 35 points on 14 for 25 shooting (including 7 for 11 from three-point range) and added four rebounds, but the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team lost 101-76 on Tuesday night to 2006 SUNY AC Finalist SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNY IT) during a game played at Mount Saint Vicnent.

More...

11/18/2006 - Junior Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond's) scored 22 points, and freshman Kevin Garlan (Jackson Heights, NY/Archbishop Molloy) added 19 points as both shot 8 for 9 from the floor as the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball team claimed third place in the 26th annual Eastern Connecticut Tip-off Tournament with a 101-76 win over Mitchell College on Saturday. With the win, the Mount improves to 1-1 for the 2006 season after losing a 75-69 loss during a thriller with host Eastern Connecticut State on Friday night. More...

11/18/2006 - A year ago, the Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball season was defined by one man's pursuit of the career scoring record for the Dolphins. And while that headline came and went a long time ago, it seems that scoring records are going to be a common theme for one Mount Saint Vincent hoopster, particularly if he continues on the torrid pace he set for himself during his Mount Saint Vincent debut on Friday night. Freshman Marquise King (Albany, NY/Albany HS) scored a tournament record-tying 36 points, 29 of which came during the second half of play, as Mount Saint Vincent battled back from a 23-point second half deficit to lose to powerhouse Eastern Connecticut State, 75-69 during the first round of the Eastern Tip-off Tournament.

Hired as the Interim Head Coach shortly before the start of the 2005-06 season, Murphy returns to the sidelines for the 2006-07 campaign no longer the Interim Head Coach, and with the entire off-season to prepare his troops for what will be a challenging season night in and night out. Mount Saint Vincent Director of Athletics, Cathy Ingram, said the decision to hire Murphy as the team's Head Coach was not a difficult one. More...

2/15/2006 - Mount Saint Vincent Men’s Basketball senior James Mooney (Bronx, NY/Iona Prep) entered Tuesday night’s crucial Skyline Conference game at Manhattanville so close to becoming the all-time leading scorer in Mount Saint Vincent history that he could almost taste it. 62 points away from the record with only two games to play, Mooney set out to narrow the gap even further between second place and Mount Saint Vincent Basketball immortality against a Manhattanville team that downed the Mount by 47 points on Dec. 20. By the way Mooney played during the first half on Tuesday, he nearly shattered the record a game ahead of schedule as he turned in one of his finest efforts of the season. More...

2/11/2006 - Moments after the conclusion of Saturday’s Men’s Basketball game between Mount Saint Vincent and Farmingdale State, two things were crystal clear: The Dolphins are going to be a very dangerous team should they advance to the Skyline Conference playoffs, and senior James Mooney (Bronx, NY/Iona Prep) is going to make the final week of his storied career one to remember. The senior scored a team-high 39 points and became the second men’s basketball player in Mount Saint Vincent history to break 1,700 career points, but the Dolphins dropped their second consecutive game, 91-79 to the Skyline Conference leading Rams during a game played at Farmingdale State. More...

2/6/2006 - The curtain may be closing on the storied basketball career of Mount Saint Vincent senior James Mooney (Bronx, NY/Iona Prep), but if his final three games are anything like his performance on Monday night, his run at the Mount will not end quietly. For the sixth time this season and second time during his last three games, Mooney broke the 30-point mark on Monday, scoring a game-high 35 points, but the Mount Saint Vincent Men’s Basketball team lost for the second straight game, 92-83 to Medgar Evers during a game played at Medgar Evers.

More...

2/1/2006 - When all is said and done, and the 2005-06 Men’s Basketball season is over, whether or not Mount Saint Vincent advances to the Skyline Conference playoffs may ultimately be secondary to the lesson that current and future members of the team have learned since shortly after 2006 began . It was only 27 days ago that an 86-76 loss to St. Joseph’s (LI) represented the team’s seventh straight loss and dropped the Mount to 3-9, virtually eliminating the Dolphins from post-season contention. But instead of packing it in and planning for the future, first year Head Coach Michael Murphy challenged his team to come together and make the season a success. The Mount responded, and Wednesday night was the greatest proof yet that Mount Saint Vincent is officially the most dangerous team in the Skyline Conference. More...

1/27/2006 - If ever an argument existed that the Skyline Men’s Basketball Conference should change scheduling formats so that each team plays each other twice per season, Friday night’s contest between Mount Saint Vincent and Maritime College will almost certainly lend credibility to the cause. It was 40 minutes that featured everything expected of a conference game late in the season – end-to-end action in front of a packed gymnasium, a thrilling comeback, career-best performances, and an intensity that can only be described as playoff-like. Despite one of their worst starts to a game of the 2005-06 season, Mount Saint Vincent chipped away at a 17-point first half deficit and overcame Maritime College, 85-79, to win in dramatic fashion for the second straight game. More...

1/23/2006 - An outstanding week of play has led to the first-ever accolade from the Skyline Conference for Mount Saint Vincent sophomore Derek Charlton (Yonkers, NY/St. Raymond’s), who was named to the Skyline Conference Honor Roll after averaging 13 points and 12.5 rebounds per game during a 12 week for the Mount. During a 76-59 loss to Stevens on Monday and a 77-71 win over FDU-Florham on Thursday, Charlton registered double-doubles. More...

1/19/2006 -  When Michael Murphy took the position as Mount Saint Vincent’s Head Men’s Basketball Coach in October, he had to envision that he would have nights like this one on the sidelines. A tight, end-to-end game featuring fast breaks, three pointers, and a dramatic late-game rally to win an incredible game in a hostile gym. Little did Murphy know that the most dramatic victory of his coaching career would come with perhaps the youngest line-up he has ever seen. Using a six-man rotation consisting almost primarily of freshmen and sophomores, the Mount overcame a 34-31 halftime deficit and rallied to score the game’s final 11 points to defeat host FDU-Florham, 77-71. More...

More...

1/14/2006 - It seems like every time the Mount Saint Mary Men’s Basketball travels to Mount Saint Vincent, something wild is bound to happen. Last season’s edition of one of the biggest rivalries in the Skyline Conference was one of the best games of the year conference-wide with Mount Saint Mary escaping with a 115-107 win on Feb. 2, 2005. Nearly a year later, the game was not as close, but it was every bit as wild with the two teams combining for 204 points. Mount Saint Mary used a tremendous shooting first half to build a 68-40 lead after 20 minutes, and cruised to a 115-89 win over Mount Saint Vincent for their eighth straight win. More...

1/12/2006 - Mount Saint Vincent senior James Mooney (Bronx, NY/Iona Prep) scored a game-high 25 points – 19 during the first half of play – and sophomore Corey Petrucelli (Stratford, CT/St. Joseph’s) and senior Greg Casey (Mount Vernon, NY/Blessed Sacrament) each scored 12 points as the Mount Saint Vincent Men’s Basketball team won its third straight game, 72-68 over host Polytechnic on Thursday night. More...

1/9/2006 - The Mount Saint Vincent Men's Basketball season is officially on track. 48 hours after ending a seven-game losing streak, the Dolphins jumped right back into the Skyline Conference playoff hunt with a stunning 82-77 win over King's Point during a game played at Mount Saint Vincent. Senior Greg Casey (Mount Vernon, NY/Blessed Sacrament) scored a career-high 26 points and fellow senior Charles Hernandez (Bronx, NY/Msgr.

1/7/2006 - Facing the prospects of an eighth straight loss and a possible 1-5 start in Skyline Conference play, Mount Saint Vincent senior James Mooney (Bronx, NY/Iona Prep) not only took over Saturday’s Men’s Basketball game at Centenary, he made history as well.

1/4/2006 - Two nights after their finest defensive performance of the 2005-06 season during a 78-71 overtime loss to NYU, Mount Saint Vincent was unable to repeat the effort on Wednesday night, dropping their seventh straight game, 86-76 to St. Joseph’s (LI) during a game played at St. Joseph’s.
