Team History

2006-2007 season recap.
The Lightning capped off the 2006-07 season with the program's first ever ECAC Championship, by defeating Molloy College, 86-70. Under fourth year Head Coach Chuck Hammond, the team finished with an 15-13 overall and 11-9 conference mark and qualified for the CACC Tournament for the second time in the program's history. The team received the CACC Sportsmanship Award and also saw Freshman Adrian Miles named the CACC Rookie of the Year. Junior Derek Savage earned All-CACC Second Team honors and was tabbed the ECAC Championship game MVP. Senior DJ Stanberry capped off his senior campaign being named to the All-CACC Third Team.

2005-2006 season recap.
The 2005-2006 season was the best showing for the Lightning since the 1999-2000 season as the team finished 15-12 (10-12 CACC). The Lightning earned victories over top-ranked teams Holy Family University, Bridgeport University, and Nyack College and just missed qualifying for the CACC Tournament. GBC had three players finish the season in double-figure scoring; Nate Lewis (15.5), DJ Stanberry (13.7) and Derek Savage (10.2). The Lightning shot 45% from the field and finished the season with a 3.8 scoring margin over opponents.
2004-2005 season recap.
The 2004-2005 season showed improvement as the team finished with a record of 6-21 (5-14 CACC).  The Lightning earned victories over Columbia Union, Philadelphia University of the Sciences, and Wilmington and Felician twice. GBC’s opponents only outscored them by a minimal 8.2 points per game, including two overtime losses.


2003-2004 season recap.
As the Goldey-Beacom Lightning concluded its fourth losing season in a row, the locker-room echoed with the chant “4-23, Never Again!”  The team will carry this new mantra into next season as it looks to build on the advances made this year in defensive and individual achievements.  With a good nucleus of players returning, Coach Hammond is excited about next season and the team’s ability to compete in the conference.  Hammond states “With the support that Chris Morgan and our administration give us, it is only a matter of time before we make our mark on the CACC.”

2002-2003 season recap. 
The 2002-2003 season was a time of transition as our team, comprised predominantly of underclassmen, struggled to find a rhythm under the new leadership of Coach Casey.  The student-athletes fought every game through to its conclusion, regardless of the outcome and for their efforts earned the respect of its competition on the court.  Casey resigned his post this spring to pursue a different career, so the challenge falls to Chuck Hammond of Philadelphia University to continue rebuilding our struggling program.  “I am very excited about the upcoming season,” states Hammond, “we have an experienced core of returning players along with a few very exciting prospects.  It should be a fun and exciting year as we begin to set a new standard for the Goldey-Beacom Men’s Basketball Team.

2001-2002 season recap.
In spite of the core of experienced players returning in 2001, the Goldey-Beacom Lightning was unable to turn high expectations for a winning season into a reality.  The team was highly competitive, often losing by a margin of less than 5 points.  While there were many standout individual performances throughout the season from this talented group of men, the players couldn’t seem to come together as a team, ultimately ending the season with a disappointing 6wins and 19 losses (4-16 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, or CACC).

2000-2001 season recap.
 2000-2001 was a season of transition for the Goldey-Beacom Lightning, as it moved from a less rigorous schedule, composed primarily of NAIA Division II and NCAA Division III teams, to a tougher schedule including many competitive NCAA Division II programs.   The Lightning fought its way through each game, forcing their competitors to struggle for every point, but ultimately was only able to bring in 4 wins all season.  First year Head Coach, Michael A Colella, Sr. remains optimistic that the program, which ended the season at 4-23 (3-17 in the CACC), will bounce back and be more competitive in 2001-2002. 

1999-2000 season recap. 
The Lightning finished its best season to date, closing the 1999-2000 Season with an 84-77 loss in the CACC Conference Semifinals to the #1 seed Dominican College.  The team’s overall record was 17-17, and their record in the CACC was 8-5, a valiant performance from a team comprised almost entirely of underclassmen (7 sophomores and 4 freshmen).

One of the Lightning’s more exciting victories was against The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia at the CACC Conference Quarterfinal, in which the Lightning rallied in the second half to win by a margin of 90-87.  The No. 5-seeded Lightning advanced to a semifinal match-up at No. 1 seed Dominican in Orangeburg, NY.  The game was a close one, with several lead-reversals; unfortunately Goldey-Beacom ultimately lost the match-up. 

1998-1999 season recap.
After almost a twenty year absence, GBC returned successfully to the court for the 1998-1999 Season competing in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Division II. The team posted an 11-19 record with all freshman players (6-2 in games decided by 5 points or less); playing one of the toughest schedules in the nation, which included 12 games against nationally ranked teams.

Notable Lightning victories include those over Kutztown University (PA), Caldwell College (NJ), The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (PA), and Teikyo Post (CT); with the latter three being nationally ranked teams.

The team's leading scorer, 6'2" shooting guard Corey Cann, out of Philadelphia, averaged 19.8 points per game, was the second leading scorer in the conference, and was named second team all-conference; Cann was the only freshman selected to the first, second, or third team that season.
