DOMINANT SECOND HALF PUSHES GOLDEN KNIGHTS PAST PITTSBURG STATE

Saint Rose Holds The Gorillas To 29.4 Percent Shooting To Improve To 7-0

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO-The College of Saint Rose held Pittsburg State (KS) to one field goal throughout the opening 10 minutes of the second half on the way to today's 67-44 victory at the Puerto Rico Basketball Classic. The Golden Knights (7-0) furthermore limited the Gorillas (1-6) to 29.4 percent (15-for-51) shooting from the floor, including 20.8 percent (5-for-24) in the second period.
 
"I thought our guys won a very physical game against a very good squad today. I'm learning about our team each day and I believe they're learning about themselves too. I am proud of how they continue to battle for 40 minutes against tough and talented teams down here," said head coach Brian Beaury.
 
Junior forward Julian Lipinski finished in double-figures scoring for the fifth time this season with 14 points to lead Saint Rose, which had nine different players listed in the scoring column. Lipinski also pulled down eight rebounds and handed out three assists. Senior forward Tyler Sayre added 10 points and six boards, while junior guard Jamaal Greenwood scored all of his season-high 10 points in the first half.
 
Additionally, junior forward Jack Jones tossed in nine points and came up with four blocks in 17 minutes off the bench. Junior guard Mical-Ryan Boyd finished with eight points, while senior guards Chris Dorgler and Damon Coleman both filled up the box scorer. The latter wound up with six assists, six rebounds and four steals; while Dorgler had seven boards to go with a pair of assists and six points.
 
Saint Rose trailed by as many as eight, 14-6, with 13:24 left in the first half and was still down seven, 27-20, with 4:52 remaining. However, the Golden Knights closed the period with a flurry. Dorgler and Greenwood each buried 3-pointers around a Pittsburg State turnover that yielded a 32-29 Saint Rose advantage at the break.
 
The Golden Knights then outscored the Gorillas 23-3 during the initial 9:45 of the second half to take a commanding 23 point, 55-32, lead with 10:15 to go in the ballgame.
 
Looking ahead, Saint Rose closes its stay tomorrow in San Juan. The Golden Knights will take on the host Gallitos at 12:00 pm. Meanwhile, the Gorillas return home Thursday to take on Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) rival Nebraska-Kearney at 7:30 pm.
Notes: Saint Rose is 7-0 for the first time since 2003-04 when the Golden Knights went on to finish 19-10…The Golden Knights have never opened up 8-0 during their NCAA era (1991-92)…The team has held all seven of its foes to less than 45.0 percent shooting from the floor and has limited them to 56.7 points per game.
