Hempstead, NY - Biggie Patterson had 17 points and 12 rebounds for his first double-double in a Pride uniform, while Jaeden Roberts tied Patterson for game-high honors with a season-best 17 points in leading the Hofstra men's basketball team to a 92-23 rout of SUNY Old Westbury on Wednesday evening at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. It was the second straight game for Hofstra against an opponent with the nickname Panthers. 

The 69-point margin of victory is a new program-record, breaking the previous mark of 68 in a 114-46 win over St. Joseph's (LI) last season. 

Hofstra left no doubt early on, jumping out to a 24-5 lead following a basket from Roberts with 8:33 left in the first half. The Pride scored the final 13 points of the opening stanza to hold a comfortable 47-10 lead at the break. 

The lead quickly grew to 41 as Cruz Davis and Preston Edmead scored in the opening two minutes of the second half. Hofstra cruised from there in eventually posting the nearly 70-point win. 

Cruz Davis was in double figures once again with 15 points. 

Edmead had eight points, six assists, and three rebounds in the game, while Victory Onuetu had nine rebounds and four points. A.J. Wills chipped in with nine points and three assists. 

Imole Akinwale led the Panthers with six points, while Christian Thomas and Latimer Taylor Jr. each added five. 

Hofstra will head back on the road for its next game as the Pride will face Syracuse on Saturday at 4 p.m. That game will air on the ACC Network.
