Men’s Basketball Breaks Out in Opening Weekend

Last weekend men’s basketball kicked off their season, competing in the third annual Oberlin Tip-Off Classic, the team’s season-opening tournament. The Yeomen won their first game against Hiram College on Friday night but fell to York College of Pennsylvania in the championship game on Saturday. The tournament was a much-anticipated opening number for a young team, a chance to try out new roster combinations and for the majority-underclassmen roster to gain experience before their conference season. The Yeomen dominated their game against the Terriers, leading the whole 40 minutes en route to a 77–58 final score. Second-year Noah Kim broke out offensively, notching a career-high 19 points and 4 rebounds, while fellow second-year Augustus Donohue also performed well, scoring 15 points, all via 3-pointers. The club also showed up defensively, led by second-year Sam Kamenko, the Yeomen pressured Hiram’s top shooters and established a fast and aggressive style of play.
