STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Point guard Chris Albano scored 21 points and Susan Wagner broke open a close game with a big second quarter as it cruised to a 78-53 PSAL 4A division victory over visiting Brooklyn Collegiate Saturday in Sea View.

The Falcons, who played for the first time in a week, also received double-digit scoring from Clevi Hoxha (18 points, four treys) and Charles Gambino (13 points). Darin Humes-James and Adem Djonbalic teamed for another 13 markers for Wagner, which improved to 15-6 overall, including 8-4 in league play.

Shane Seymour and Bamba Diouf finished with 20 and 12 points, respectively, for Brooklyn Collegiate.

“It was a very good performance overall,’’ said SW head coach Danny Lanigan, who received strong rebounding games from Gambino (nine) and Humes-James (eight). ”We are sharing the ball as best as we have all season and it’s been putting our shooters in great position to make shots.

“We shoot it at a much higher level when the ball is moving and that showed today,’’ added the coach. ”We received another solid game from our leading scorers.’’

Wagner trailed 18-16 after one period, but it turned the tables after limiting the Lions to just seven points in the second quarter. Albano scored nine points and Gambino added six as the Falcons took a 35-25 advantage into halftime.

Lanigan’s troops never took the foot off the pedal in the second half. Humes-James and Hoxha tallied five points apiece — including one trey each — as SW took a commanding 51-34 lead into the final quarter.
