GAMEDAY: Siena at Mount St. Mary's

Siena headed out on the road, on Friday, for the team's first road trip.

The Saints (1-0) take on Mount St. Mary's (1-1) on Saturday, at 7 p.m.

The Mountaineers are coached by former Siena assistant Robert Burke, who was in Loudonville under Paul Hewitt, from 1997-2000.

The Saints hope to have senior Owen Wignot available. Wignot suffered a head injury in Wednesday's season-opener against Navy.

Here is a link to the game advance, which appeared in Saturday's paper.

The last time these two teams played, was back in 2010.

Siena had to rally, scoring the final seven points of regulation, to post a 79-76 overtime victory, in Albany.

Ryan Rossiter scored a game-high 29 points, while grabbing 13 rebounds. Alex Franklin added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Saints.

Siena failed to make a 3-pointer in the game, snapping a streak a 536 games,, dating back to Jan. 15. 1992, with at least one trey made.
