LAS VEGAS – Reserves Kelly Lord and Adam Alfaro helped spark the Cal State San Marcos men's basketball team to a 64-54 win over Rocky Mountain at the Tip-Off Classic hosted by Robert Morris and Concordia (Calif.).

Alfaro, in his first minutes of 2012-13, went 2-of-2 from the field and hit a key three pointer late in the game to help the Cougars victory. He finished with seven points and three assists.

He and Lord substituted in CSUSM down 10 in the first half, and helped the Cougars overtake the Battlin' Bears by five, 35-30, at the halftime break.

“Those guys came in off the bench and instantly gave us a spark,” said CSUSM assistant coach Josh Dunaj. “From then on we were able to take control of the game.”

Quincy Lawson led the Cougars with 17 points, nine boards and five steals. The forward from Oceanside was 8-of-10 from the field.
