SAINT ROSE SUFFERS FIRST HOME SETBACK

Lipinski records his third "double-double" of the year for the Golden Knights

ALBANY, N.Y. - The College of Saint Rose suffered its first home defeat of the season with today's 68-60 non-league loss to Daemen at the Daniel P. Nolan Gymnasium. The Golden Knights also had their three game win streak snapped after shooting 34.9 percent (22-for-63) from the floor and being outrebounded 34-25 off the defensive glass.
 
Senior forward Julian Lipinski recorded his third "double-double" of the year with 18 points and a career-high 13 rebounds to pace Saint Rose (9-4), which was playing its first game within a 12-day span. Senior guard Mical-Ryan Boyd finished with 16 points while junior guard Shane Herrity, freshman guard Adam Anderson, and senior forward Jack Jones contributed eight apiece.
 
Freshman center Andrew Sischo recorded 22 points and seven rebounds, while sophomore guard Jay Sirkis tossed in 19 points, behind 8-for-11 shooting, to pace the Wildcats (6-6).
 
Daemen led for all but seven minutes although the Golden Knights were within striking distance throughout the afternoon. Saint Rose took its first lead since the opening five minutes with a 9-1 run that Lipinski capped by finishing a nice feed from Anderson with 12:22 remaining in the ballgame.
 
However, Daemen responded with a 9-0 spurt to go up eight, 51-43, with 8:36 to go. The Golden Knights got to within four a minute later when Lipinski tipped-in a Jones missed 3-pointer, but the Wildcats put themselves in the driver's seat behind an 11-4 jaunt that sophomore guard Breon Harris finished off with a trey to make it a 64-53 contest with 3:05 left to play.
 
The Golden Knights could not get any closer than within six the rest of the way.
 
Looking ahead, Saint Rose returns to Northeast-10 Conference action Wednesday when Saint Michael's arrives in the Capital Region. The second half of the league twin-bill is scheduled to get underway at 7:30 pm. Meanwhile, Daemen travels to West Virginia Wednesday to take on Salem International at 2:00 pm.
