The Berry men's basketball team closed out its trip to Florida winning its second game in as many days when the Vikings handed Albright a 74-54 setback Monday at the Naples Shootout.
The Vikings head into their Christmas break sporting an 8-1 overall record and return to action Dec. 29-30 when Berry plays in the Nashville Classic in Nashville, Tenn., against Wheaton and Carthage.
On Monday against the Albright Lions out of Reading, Penn., Berry took control of the game early when
Blake Campbell's jumper with 6:21 left in the opening half gave his team a 22-point advantage, 37-15, its biggest lead of the afternoon.
Albright, however, chipped made a run to close out the first 20 minutes of the game and cut the difference to 11 points at the half, 39-28.
But the Vikings regained control stretching their lead back to 19 points when
Austin Brooks scored inside and while Albright again cut into Berry lead pulling to within eight points with over seven minutes left to play until the Vikings slammed the door of the Lions to seal the win.
Chase Ellis led the Vikings with a game-high 19 points and Brooks ended the game adding 15 points.
