Last night, Stroudsburg lost their home opener to Pocono Mountain East. The final score was, 73-42, on a night where the Mountaineers were not able to get anything to go right for them. Early in the first quarter, Stroudsburg was neck and neck with East, with Alex Pacitti, ‘25, knocking down two three-pointers to give Stroudsburg one-point deficit. This would be the closest the game would be at any point as East ended the quarter on a 5-0 run. The two teams battled into the end of the first half as Stroudsburg went into the locker trailing by eight. East then started to pull away in the third quarter outscoring Stroudsburg 25-9. Center Parker Scoz, ’25, dominated Stroudsburg all night. The 6’6″, 17-year-old had his way with the Mountaineers scoring 25 points. Scoz added salt to the wound, knocking down two fourth quarter threes. Stroudsburg was outmatched by his size in the paint all night long.
