Final Stats

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) - Kenny Hasbrouck scored 22 points - one of five Siena players in double figures - to lead the Saints to a 92-73 win over Rider on Sunday.

Kojo Mensah, Antoine Jordan and Tay Fisher each had 17 points for Siena (12-11, 7-8 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), while Mike Beers added 12 points and four steals. Terrance Mouton and Jason Thompson each had 17 points for Rider (8-15, 4-11), which had a tough night from the floor, hitting just 39 percent of their shots.

Siena, which never trailed, took command early and held double-digit leads for most of the game. The Saints started the game with a 22-5 run, including 12 points from Fischer, and their defense kept Rider off-balance for most of the day.

The Broncs tried to rally midway through the second half with a 12-4 run that cut the Saints lead to seven points, but Siena soon sealed the win with an 18-2 run. Mensah, who scored six points during that stretch, also finished with a game-high nine rebounds.

The Saints went 33-39 from the free throw line, shooting 84% for the second straight game. The 92 points were a season high and testament to the Saints versatility. Siena held Fairfield to 47 points on Tuesday, the fewest by an opponent all season.

It was the second straight game Siena has held its opponent under 40% from the field. The Saints are 5-0 when doing so this season.

Siena hosts Loyola on Tuesday at Pepsi Arena before embarking on its most difficult stretch of the season at Hofstra and Iona.
