The Tigers started the season on a good note as they defeated Southern Virginia University 78-63. Holy Family had a 14-point lead at halftime (39-25) and never looked back. Sophomore Ryan Haigh led the team with 27 points and shot 7 of 11 from the three-point line. Senior Michael Wild scored 16 points and had 6 steals. Christopher Kozole did an excellent job of running the team as he dished out 7 assists and had 5 steals. Robert Presner (Junior) and Stephen Szychulski (Senior) did a phenomenal job off the bench. Robert had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and one block, while Stephen contributed 10 points. Overall, the Tigers shot a mind-boggling 50 percent (12-24) from the three-point line as a team. Congratulations to Alfred Johnson, who won his first game as Holy Family's head coach.
