Pleasantville, N.Y. (January 12) -- Led by a career-high 40-point effort from junior co-captain Thomas Baudinet (Watertown, Conn.), the Saint Anselm men's basketball team came away with a 105-100 overtime win at Pace on Tuesday night at the Goldstein Athletic Center. The Hawks drained 17 three-pointers in the game, the second-highest single-game total in Saint Anselm history.

Saint Anselm took a 50-44 advantage into the halftime break as the team turned a one-point deficit into the lead in the last minute of the period. A three-pointer from junior Pat Luptowski (Keene, N.H.), along two baskets from classmate John Mariano (Naugatuck, Conn.), put the visitors in front by six at the half. Luptowski led the team with 20 points in the period, en route to a career-high 26 points.

In the second half, the two teams traded the lead back and forth before heading into overtime in the second 100-point game of the season for the Hawks. In the extra period, senior Greg Vetrano (Andover, Mass.) nailed a three-pointer with 1:26 left in the game to give the Hawks the lead for good and secure their second straight win. In addition, it was their fifth win in the last seven games.

Baudinet dropped a career-best 40 points, just the 10th 40+ point game in Saint Anselm history. Luptowski added a career-best 26 points, along with 12 points from freshman Quinn Woodhouse (Gaylord, Mich.). Ryan Woods had 27 points to lead four Setters in double figures.

With the win, the Hawks improve to 9-6 overall and an even 5-5 in Northeast-10 play, while Pace falls to 7-8 overall and 5-5 in the league. Saint Anselm is back in action on Saturday afternoon, hosting Saint Rose for a 3:30 p.m. start.
