Last Time Out: Saint Rose fell just short in Saturday's 80-75 setback at Northeast-10 Conference rival Saint Anselm. The Golden Knights bounced back from a 10-point deficit midway through the second half to afford themselves a chance to tie it at the end, but the Hawks were able to hold on and thus chalk up their third victory in the last four games. Senior center Dominykas Milka recorded career-highs of 33 points and 19 rebounds to lead the Golden Knights. Milka tossed in 21 points in the second half en route to his 11th "double-double" of the year. Also, sophomore forward Tyler Sayre and senior guard Dan Mundweiler added 16 and 10 points respectively. Junior forward Chris Santo and junior guard Rob Mabrey tossed in 20 and 18 points respectively to pace four Hawks in double-figures scoring.
Last Meeting: Saint Rose chalked up a 67-64 win at Assumption last March 3 in an NE-10 Championship quarterfinal match. Milka recorded his 18th "double-double" of the year with 15 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Golden Knights. Andre Pope and Sayre each contributed 14 points as Saint Rose shot 48.9 (23-for-47) percent from the floor. For Assumption, junior guard Terrance Bobb-Jones scored a game-high 16 points to go along with seven rebounds and six assists. Kevin Donahue shot 3-of-4 from 3-point range to help account for 15 points.
The Series: Saint Rose owns an 18-14 lead in the series that dates back to the 1992-93 campaign. The Golden Knights had dropped four straight to the Greyhounds, prior to last year's NE-10 quarterfinal victory.
