Saint Rose (20-7) chalked up a 101-93 overtime victory against visiting Saint Anselm in this season's lone meeting between the two schools back on January 15. The Golden Knights outscored their guests 19-11 throughout the extra session after the Hawks (19-8) had come from seven down with 6:45 remaining in regulation. Junior guard Shea Bromirski scored nine of his team-leading 26 points in OT by knocking down a trey and going 6-for-6 from the foul line during the final 46 seconds to pace the Golden Knights.

Fourth-seed Saint Rose, which earned a first-round bye after finishing among the top-four teams in the final regular-season standings, is coming off of last Wednesday's 80-59 victory against visiting Le Moyne. Saint Rose ran off 23 unanswered points to rally from a five point, second half deficit.

The Golden Knights have had four players averaging double-figures in scoring all year, which has helped them produce a league leading 77.9 points. Junior first-team All-Conference guard Rob Gutierrez leads the way with 18.7 points and 2.0 steals per-outing.

Gutierrez is followed by Bromirski, a third-team All-Conference selection for the second straight year, and sophomore guard Andre Pope. Bromirski and Pope are averaging 15.7 and 12.9 points respectively, and have knocked down a collective 130 shots from the arc this season. The latter is also sixth in the NE-10 with a team-leading 4.1 assists per-outing. Junior forward Brian Hanuschak completes the double-figure scorers by averaging 10.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per-game, the league's eighth best mark.

Meanwhile, fifth-seed Saint Anselm advanced with Saturday's 77-61 first-round win against visiting Assumption in Manchester, NH. The Hawks have now won two straight, after dropping their previous three. They are 12-1 at home, but 5-7 on the road.

Saint Anselm has both the NE-10 Player of the Year in senior guard Thomas Baudinet and the conference's Rookie of the Year in freshman forward Allen Harris at its disposal.

Harris is good for 17.2 points and 6.4 boards per-game, while junior forward Jack Keough contributes 12.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per-outing.
