Saints cruise past Roos, 91-81

Posted

St. Lawrence University senior captain Brady Condlin had a double-double with 26 points and 13 rebounds while rookie Riley Naclerio added 18 points on a perfect 7-for-7 from the field, leading the Saints men's basketball team to a 91-81 road win at SUNY Canton on Tuesday night.

St. Lawrence improves to 11-9 on the year and snapped the Roos' four-game win streak, sending them to 12-4 on the season. Willie Zachery added 17 points and six assists for the visitors while Kyle Edwards chipped in 15 points for St. Lawrence, which shot 54% from the floor including 50% from behind the arc (8-of-16). Canton was led by Vonallen Pickett's 19 points and nine rebounds off the bench. Adam Felt added 12 points for the Roos, which shot 37% from the floor and were outscored by the Saints 23-15 in points off turnovers.

Condlin helped St. Lawrence out to a 41-29 halftime lead thanks to 12 points and six rebounds in the opening period. Though the teams exchanged the lead early, a three pointer by Edwards with 8:06 to play helped the Saints out to an 11 point cushion at 24-13. Kaleb Faison's jumper with 2:46 left in the half made it a 20 point game, but the Roos ended the half on a run to get back into the game down 12 at the break.

St. Lawrence pulled away with a 10-0 run in the early stages of the second half, capped by another three from Edwards off a feed by Faison. The lead reached its largest margin of 25 at 60-35 with 13:33 remaining. Though the home team would begin to pick up their play on the offensive end, scoring 46 points in just 13:25, their run wasn't enough as the Roos got no closer than eight points en route to the 91-81 St. Lawrence win.

Tuesday's game was a re-scheduled contest from first semester that was originally moved due to a snow storm.

The Saints will resume Liberty League action again this weekend when they host Bard and Vassar in the Burkman Gymnasium. The Saints take on the Raptors in the first of two pivotal conference games on Friday at 8:00pm.
