Senior Trent Adamson surpassed 1,000 points on Saturday afternoon in Burkman Gymnasium as the St. Lawrence University men's basketball team downed the RIT Tigers 88-71.

Adamson reached the milestone at the 15:33 mark of the second half with a free-throw. He finished with 18 points on 7-11 shooting, including two dunks, and grabbed four rebounds. Carter Storey also had 18, hitting 5-6 from deep, and going 3-3 from the line, in just 12 minutes. Floor general Trey Syroka had a career-high 10 assists, in addition to four steals. His 2.7 steals per game leads the Liberty League. Gavin Macaulay added 15 points and Aidan Macaulay had 14 points and eight rebounds.

Carter hit three triples in 83 seconds to cap off a 13-point run by the Saints to make the score 35-15 midway through the first half. An RIT bucket slowed the run, but the Scarlet and Brown scored 12 straight to make it a 30-point first half lead. With 2:17 left the Tigers hit a free-throw, but the Saints again responded, and scored the final six points of the half to lead 52-18.

The Tigers came up with more offense in the second half and outscored the Saints 53-36, but the 34-point deficit was too much to come back from, and the Saints won 88-71.

 
"We played well this weekend," said head coach Chris Downs. "We are starting to share the ball better. Our being at home has helped our confidence shooting the ball."

Four Tigers finished with 10 or more points, led by Matt Caggiano's 14-points off the bench.

The Saints had 14 steals, led by Syroka's four. Engelhardt had three, and Storey, Gavin Macaulay, and Miles Davis each had a pair.

The Saints improve to 13-7 on the season and 9-5 in the Liberty League and have moved up to a three-way tie for second place. The Tigers fall to 8-12 in the league and 4-9 in the league.

St. Lawrence has their final home weekend of the regular season on February 10-11, when they host RPI and Ithaca. They play RPI on the 10th at 7:30 and Ithaca on the 11th at 4 p.m., and prior to the competition will honor the Class of 2023.
