The St. Lawrence University men's basketball team's two-game win streak was ended by Hobart College on Saturday afternoon as the Saints lost 47-64 in Geneva, N.Y.
Hobart scored the opening seven points and the Saints worked to dig themselves out of that early hole. Midway through the half, the defense came up with the needed stops, while
Trey Syroka assisted on an
Andrew Cowan dunk and a
Carter Storey three, then he forced a steal and connected on a fast break layup.
Miles Davis hit a mid-range jumper on the next possession to give St. Lawrence their first lead of the game, but Hobart immediately answered back.
The hosts pulled ahead by 10 points with under a minute to go in the first half.
Aidan Macaulay got to the paint and scored a floater with 10-seconds to go and make it an eight-point game, but a buzzer beater three from the Statesmen put Hobart up 31-20 at the break.
Hobart controlled most of the second half, and the Saints were not able to bring it back to within single digits the rest of the way.
Trent Adamson had a team high 10 points, including going 4-5 from the line, and grabbed three boards. Macaulay finished with nine points, and his brother
Gavin Macaulay finished with eight. Each connected on a shot from deep. Syroka finished with seven points, four steals and two assists.
Jackson Meshanic had 26 points and nine rebounds to lead Hobart.
After the Saints shot over 56-percent from the floor last night in a win over a physical RIT team, the Saints hit 32.7-percent of their shots against Hobart. The Statesmen average nearly 48-percent shooting on the season, and hit just below their average with 46-percent against the Scarlet and Brown.
The Saints are on the road again next weekend, playing Vassar on January 27
th at 7:30 p.m. and Bard on the 28
