Mississauga, Ontario. - The College Park Skyhawks (1-0) opened the 2023-24 season with a victory over Raptors 905 (0-2), 118-101, on Sunday afternoon in Mississauga, Ontario. The win marked new Head Coach Ryan Schmidt's first career win as a head coach in the NBA G League. Schmidt, the Skyhawks' third head coach in team history, is the first to win his first game at the helm of the club.

Chris Silva recorded a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds to secure his first double-double of the season. Silva led the team with 15 double-doubles during the 2022-23 season.

Keaton Wallace, acquired by the Skyhawks via trade during the offseason, tallied 19 points on 6-8 FG and 3-4 3FG while adding five assists, four steals, and three rebounds.

The contest went back-and-forth during the first three quarters, with both teams trading buckets and leads, but the Skyhawks pulled away thanks to a 36-24 fourth quarter. The Skyhawks converted Raptors 905's 17 turnovers into 30 points - a mark that the team bested only three times in the season prior.

Six of the eight players that appeared for Raptors 905 on Sunday scored in double figures, and the team was led by Darryl Morsell's 22 points.

The two teams will square off again on Tuesday evening for the conclusion of a two-game set. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game can be found on NBAGLeague.com.
