MANCHESTER, N.H.  – Junior Jack Medalie scored a career-high 25 points to lead the Saint Anselm College men's basketball team to a 100-86 win over Assumption University in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup at Stoutenburgh Gymnasium on Wednesday.

  • This marked the 135th all-time meeting between these two programs. Saint Anselm improves to 74-61 overall against Assumption in the series that began in 1936.
  • Saint Anselm is now 7-1 in league play with a 14-4 record overall, remaining in first place in the NE10. The Hawks are receiving votes in the NABC Coaches' Poll for the third week in a row, one of two NE10 teams, joined by Adelphi University.

How it Happened
 
The Greyhounds claimed the lead early in the game, but after the Hawks took a 13-12 advantage with 13:46 remaining in the first half, Saint Anselm refused to relinquish the lead for the rest of the game.
 
Morissette led all scorers in the first half with 15, making all four of his threes in the first 20 minutes of action. The Hawks' perimeter defense was terrific, holding Assumption to a 0-7 mark from long range in the half.
 
The Hawks shot an impressive 19-31 (61.3%) in the second half, led by Medalie with 17 points and Ristic with 12, as Saint Anselm pulled away, leading by as much as 26 points before securing the win, 100-86.
