Just ten days earlier, the Saints traveled to Iona, where they played under the lights on Wednesday, October 18, and came away with a 55 to 33 win. This time, the Saints got to host Iona for the Liberty Conference Semifinals.

This game was the complete opposite of the ten days ago. This game was 6-0 in favor of the Saints at the half, with only two PKs from Senior Fly-Half Isaac Frost.

Then, in the second half, the Saints stepped up, going up 28-0 with just a few minutes left. 

With under ten minutes left, Iona outscored the Saints, 14-0. Still, it was too little too late for any kind of comeback, as the Saints won 28 to 14 to move to the Liberty Conference Championship against Brown University.

Brown 32, Siena 7 - Liberty Conference Finals

The battle of undefeated teams in the Liberty Conference Championship, Siena vs Brown, occurred in Fairfield, Connecticut under the lights at 7 PM. 

Brown outplayed the Saints in scrums and lineouts the whole match, and the Saints had no answer to that. The Saints' goal-line defense still looked strong, not allowing Brown much and causing them to make mistakes when they got down there.

At halftime, the Saints only trailed 15-0 to the reigning Division I National Champions.

The second half was almost identical to the first half as Brown outscored the Saints, 17-7, for a final score of 32-7 in favor of Brown.
