GOLDEN KNIGHTS SHOOT PAST AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL

ALBANY, N.Y. – The College of Saint Rose shot a blistering 59.6 percent (34-for-57) from the floor, put five players in twin figures scoring, and pulled away midway through the second half to chalk up tonight's 90-78 victory against visiting American International College.
 
Sophomore forwards Eric Fleming and Josh McGettigan led the way for the Golden Knights (2-1) with 21 points apiece on a combined 17-for-20 shooting from the floor. Freshman forward Shane O'Dell scored 13 of his 18 points after halftime, while rookie point guard Tray Alexander registered his second "double-double" of the year with 11 points and 10 assists.
 
Sophomore swing Cartier Bowman pulled down 12 boards and added seven points in just 25 minutes, while sophomore guard Sean Dadey tossed in a career best 10 points in 17 minutes of action.

"I thought our guys played with a real sense of urgency tonight and stayed the course against a very physical AIC team. We got contributions from a bunch of different guys. Eric, Josh and Shane gave us a huge effort offensively and I thought Cartier really gave us a big lift cleaning up 12 boards today. We need to continue to get better and work at the things we need to improve upon," said head coach Mike Perno.

Saint Rose broke open a four point, 65-61, game with 9:23 to play behind a 20-6 jaunt to go up 18, 85-67, with 3:31 remaining. Alexander ignited the spurt by finishing a driving layup and Fleming led it by scoring eight points throughout the run in which the Golden Knights made nine of their 12 field goal attempts.
 
Junior guard Walter Covington scored 15 points to lead the Yellow Jackets (0-3), who were playing for the first time since January 30.
 
Looking ahead, both teams are set to get back on the floor Wednesday. Saint Rose is scheduled to return home for a 4:30 pm game versus Molloy. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets have 6:00 pm date at St. Thomas Aquinas.
Notes: O'Dell and Alexander have both been in double-figures scoring in all three games to date…O'Dell is averaging a team-leading 20.7 points, while Alexander is averaging 13.7 points and 9.0 assists thus far…Fleming is pulling down a team-best 7.3 rebounds per game.
