POUGHKEEPSIE - Siena is out in front, but it hasn't been easy.

Marist has kept the game close, but doesn't have any answer down low for Ryan Rossiter and Alex Franklin, who combined for 18 of Siena's first 22 points.

The Red Foxes have battled back thanks in large part to Korey Bauer, who has scored 14.

Franklin has 15 to lead the Saints, who get a big boost from Edwin Ubiles, who scored nine straight Siena points and finished the half with a jumper at the buzzer.

Also, Owen Wignot is likely done for the day as during the intermission he had his left shoe off and was walking into the trainer's room.

He also has a huge bag of ice around the left ankle area.
