Rider scored seven straight to open a 51-38 lead at the 11:55 mark, with the Saints battling back to as close as five at 59-54 with 4:20 remaining. But Powell scored seven clutch points capped by a back-breaking three during a 9-2 Rider response, as the Broncs snapped a six-game losing streak at MVP Arena with their first win in Albany over Siena since Dec. 7, 2012.
