GOLDEN KNIGHTS SEND OUT SENIORS ON A HIGH NOTE

ALBANY, N.Y. – The College of Saint Rose celebrated Senior Night by upending visiting Northeast-10 Conference rival Pace University 80-68 in its season-finale this evening. The Golden Knights (10-17/7-13 NE10) put four players in double-figures scoring and turned 19 Setters turnovers in 21 points.
 
"I was really happy to see our seniors go out with a win. All three of them played really well. This group has had a lot of success in their careers and it was nice to see us battle on both ends of the floor one last time with them tonight," said head coach Mike Perno.
 
Sophomore guard Adam Anderson led the way with 17 points while freshman guard Tyler Washington and senior forward Matt Cerutti finished with 16 and 14 respectively. Freshman forward Sekou Sylla finished with 12 points and seven rebounds, while senior guard Shane Herrity recorded nine points and seven boards. Senior guard Kamron Johnson contributed six points, five rebounds, and six assists with only one turnover.
 
Junior forward Peyton Wejnert led a quintet of Pace players in twin figures with 19 points and seven rebounds.
 
Saint Rose outscored the Setters (15-12/9-11 NE10) 15-4 throughout the final 4:30 of the opening period that allowed them to turn a 28-24 lead into a 15 point, 43-28, advantage at the break. Washington knocked down a pair of 3-pointers and Herrity added one of his own throughout the final 1:07 to highlight the outburst.
 
The Golden Knights eventually boosted their cushion to 21 points, 73-52, with 5:43 remaining, but Pace took off on a 13-1 jaunt to get to within nine, 74-65, with 3:08 to go. Saint Rose abruptly answered as Herrity drained a pair of free throws and Washington knocked down a jumper to put Saint Rose back up by 13, 78-65, with 2:24 left.
Senior Night | John Pesce '86 Award: Cerutti, Herrity, and Johnson were recognized in a pregame ceremony along with cheerleaders Danielle Dumas and Reanna Terano as part of Senior Night. In addition, Johnson received the John Pesce '86 Memorial Award. Pesce graduated from Saint Rose in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. He was a loyal member of the Golden Knights men's basketball team from 1984-86. Pesce passed away in 2015 following a courageous battle with brain cancer. The John Pesce '86 Memorial Award was established by his family, friends, and teammates. It is given annually to a basketball player who embodies his spirit and commitment to team and school.
Notes: Cerutti was recently named to the 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-District® Team for his combined performance on the court and in the classroom. The teams are selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) who recognize student-athletes in four divisions; NCAA Division I, II, and III, and NAIA. As a first-team selection, Cerutti will appear on the Google Cloud Academic All-America® ballot. First, second, and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in early March.
