Men's basketball wins seventh-straight game, downing Saint Michael's

COLCHESTER, Vt. – The Saint Anselm College men's basketball team recorded a 73-65 victory at Saint Michael's College on Saturday.

Box Score

Saint Anselm has won seven games in a row, moving to 17-8 overall on the year and to 13-5 against Northeast-10 Conference foes. A victory for Saint Anselm on Tuesday against Bentley at 7:30 p.m. will lock up the Northeast Division regular-season championship for the Hawks.

Junior Chris Paul (Highland Mills, N.Y.) scored 26 points with 11 rebounds and five assists for Saint Anselm, leading the charge with nine field goals in the win. The other four starters also reached double-digit scoring figures – freshman Tyler Arbuckle (Bristol, Conn.) scored 14 points, followed by junior Gustav Suhr-Jessen (Virum, Denmark) and his 12 points.

Paul exited play with exactly 1,300 career points across 88 games on the Hilltop.

Saint Michael's maintained two separate nine-point leads late in the first half, but the Hawks were able to erase the last one with an 18-6 scoring spurt heading into halftime. In that span, Paul posted nine of his team's points and senior Danny Evans (Leeds, United Kingdom) posted two triples on the way to a 10-point, seven-rebound afternoon.

The Purple Knights captured a narrow two-point lead, 41-39, after back-to-back treys shortly into the second half. The Hawks, however, quickly established an 11-point lead, 56-45, with a 17-4 scoring run that spanned just over three minutes.

Saint Anselm would not trail for the remainder of the second half, despite the Purple Knights trimming the visitors lead to just three points as late as with 4:14 to go in regulation time. The Hawks held edges in second-half field goal percentage (44.8%-to-36.4%) and won the rebounding battle, 22-to-17. Paul had 13 of his 26 points in the second half.

Kasai Brown and Jordan Guzman each had 17 points to lead Saint Michael's, who has won only three of the last 23 meetings between both programs dating back to the 2009-10 season.

The Hawks will honor their senior class of student-athletes on Tuesday against Bentley.
