COLLEGE PARK, Ga. - The College Park Skyhawks (13-13) were defeated by the G League Ignite (10-16), 130-113, in the second game of a two-game series at the Gateway Center Arena on Thursday night.

Langston Galloway poured in a career-high 32 points (9-13 FG, 4-8 3FG) in 28 minutes to pace the Skyhawks. Two-way guard Donovan Williams chipped in with 21 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3FG) - his second straight 20-point game.

The Skyhawks bested the Ignite in the first (30-29) and third (31-26) quarters, but the Ignite erupted for 49 points in the second quarter to take a commanding lead that they never gave up.

"We have to take advantage of every opportunity that we get to step on that floor," said Skyhawks Head Coach Steve Gansey. "I was disappointed in our energy and effort tonight."

Ignite had six players in double figures, led by Leonard Miller's 33 points (13-17 FG, 3-4 3FG) and 11 rebounds. John Jenkins finished with 29 points (11-19 FG, 4-6 3FG), and Scoot Henderson tallied 15 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds.

The Skyhawks played in front of a sellout crowd for the third time this season on Thursday night - a new team record for sellouts in a season. The team is now set to hit the road to Delaware for a matchup with the Blue Coats. The Skyhawks and Blue Coats will meet on Saturday, March 11 with tip-off set for 6 p.m. ET.
