HYDE PARK, NY – Cannoneers guard Andrew Yaglenski poured in a season-high 32 points, but Pratt fell 74-51 at the Culinary Institute of America Sunday afternoon in Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletics Conference men's basketball play.

Fellow freshman Tytus Millikan corralled a season-best 18 rebounds, though CIA out rebounded the Cannoneers 54-32 on the day, 13 coming from Avery Britton.

Britton's jumper on the Steels opening possession sparked a 12-0 run to start the day, with the visitors held scoreless until a Millikan lay-in just outside the 12:00 mark. Culinary's lead remained in double figures the remainder of the afternoon, as the Steels entered halftime leading 34-21 after an Aaron Best basket beat the buzzer.

As he did in the opening stanza, Britton's lay-in started the scoring in the second, commencing a 9-0 run out of intermission and putting the game out of reach. Nineteen of Yaglenski's career-best 32 came in the second, as did seven of Jeff Chung-Hsiang's season-high nine points, and one of Yaglenski's four three-pointers pulled Pratt to within 11, at 48-37 with 11:00 left. Culinary responded with a 13-0 run spanning 4:24, as a Beve Julien layup capped the rally and distanced the Steels for good.

In addition to a team-high 13 boards, Britton led Culinary with 25 points on 9-17 shooting. Sevens were wild for Steels guard Anthony Russo, who tallied seven points, seven assists and seven steals.

Yaglenski's 32 came on an efficient 11-22 shooting, including 4-7 from distance. As a team, Pratt was held to 31 percent shooting, 20 percent outside the freshman guard. Led by Yaglenski's 6-6 effort, the team converted 80 percent at the free throw line.

The Cannoneers continue HVIAC play Monday night at the Pratt ARC against King's (NY) College.
