POUGHKEEPSIE - Clarence Jackson finally played for Siena and it was just what the team needed.

The senior co-captain scored a game-high 19 points to lead the Saints to a 66-59 victory over rival Marist at the McCann Center on Friday night.

Jackson had missed six straight games, but finished with five 3-pointers in 26 minutes off of the bench.

He also became the 37th player in program history to score 1,000 career points.

The Red Foxes (3-3, 4-14) made it really tight in the second half, closing to one, 55-54 with less than three minutes to play.

Jackson answered with a 3-pointer and Siena pulled away.

Ryan Rossiter added a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebound and O.D. Anosike finished with 13 points and nine rebounds for the Saints (3-3, 6-10).

Sam Prescott led four Marist players with 15 points, while Adam Kemp finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds going up against Rossiter.

Siena hosts Canisius on Monday in Albany.
