Jan. 24: St. Lawrence University senior captain Brady Condlin scored a game-high 20 points, while Kyle Kobis had 19 points including 5-of-7 shooting from behind the arc to lead the men's basketball team to a 66-56 Liberty League win at Bard on Saturday in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.
 
The victory keeps St. Lawrence in position to vie for a playoff spot at 4-4 in the conference and 9-7 overall.  Bard, which was led by DeVahnte Mosley's 12 points, falls to 3-5 in the league and 8-9 overall.
 
Leondre Simmon hauled in a career-high 12 rebounds including seven offensive boards, while Condlin added a pair of blocks and a team-high three steals.  St. Lawrence got the win despite shooting 37% to Bard's 42%, much in part because of 13 Raptor turnovers.
 
A back-and-forth first half saw St. Lawrence own the largest lead of six at 8-2, but Bard would rally and take a 26-25 lead on a pair of free throws from Mosley with 3:20 left in the half.  A jumper by Zachery and a lay-up by Kyle Edwards would allow the visitors to take a 29-26 advantage into halftime as Bard was held without a point in that final stretch following the Mosley free throws.
 
Neither team was able to gain separation in the second half either, with both squads owning leads throughout the period.  Bard went up 47-46 on a layup by Siondueh Burnette, only to see Condlin answer with a three pointer for a 49-47 lead with 7:49 to go.  With the game tied at 49-49, Kobis, who nailed a key three in the win over Vassar, delivered a triple as the shot clock expired to go up 52-49.  That shot began a key 13-2 run that put the game away for the Scarlet and Brown, as Edwards and Simmon each made big buckets to help build a 62-51 lead with under a minute remaining en route to the key conference win.
 
St. Lawrence will look to build on the weekend sweep on Tuesday night, January 27, as the Saints host Clarkson University in Burkman Gymnasium.  Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00pm between the two rivals.
