GOLDEN KNIGHTS CONTINUE TO ROLL

Cerutti and Lipinski record fourth "double-doubles" of the year to propel Saint Rose


WALHAM, Mass. - The College of Saint Rose put five players in double-figures scoring while senior forward Julian Lipinski and junior forward Matt Cerutti both recorded their fourth "double-doubles" of the year in today's 81-73 Northeast-10 Conference victory at Bentley.
 
The Golden Knights (11-4/6-1 NE10) turned the ball over a mere seven times and got 24 points from their bench, while racking up their fifth win in the last six games.
 
"I thought our guys played as unselfish as they have all year, which helped land five of them in double figures on the way to a gritty road win," said assistant coach Mike Perno.
 
Lipinski finished with 22 points, behind 9-for-13 shooting, and 11 rebounds while Cerutti wound up with 11 points and 11 caroms. Senior guard Mical-Ryan Boyd tossed in 15 points. Senior forward Jack Jones and freshman guard Adam Anderson scored 12 apiece.
 
Junior guard Ryan Richmond wound up with a game-high 26 points to lead the Falcons (8-6/5-4 NE10).
 
Saint Rose trailed for only two minutes throughout the afternoon and led by as much as 21, 60-39, after Boyd knocked down back-to-back treys with 14:50 to go. Bentley countered with 11 unanswered points to cut its deficit to 10, but Jones canned one from long distance to thwart the spurt.
 
The Falcons managed to make it a two possession game with 1:04 left before the Golden Knights sealed it by going 9-for-10 from the foul line throughout the final 50 seconds.
 
Looking ahead, both squads have 7:30 pm conference games this Wednesday. Saint Rose hosts Stonehill, while Bentley travels to Springfield to take on American International.
Notes: Lipinski has been in double-figures scoring in six straight games…He is still second among the conference leaders in blocks (1.9)…Cerutti is tied for third among the league leaders in rebounding (7.7)…Boyd has averaged 17.3 points in the four games since his return…Saint Rose has five players averaging at least 9.1 points…The squad is 17th in the country and first in the NE10 in scoring defense (65.9)…The Golden Knights are furthermore second in the league in blocks (3.9) and stand third in field goal percentage defense (41.7)…They have turned the ball over fewer than 10 times throughout seven of their previous nine contests.
