ALBANY - Siena dropped its fifth straight game on Saturday night, but it wasn't for lack of effort.

The Saints fell behind by double-digits, clawed back and ended up on the short end of the stick against a very talented Loyola team.

Evan Hymes scored a team-high 21 points and O.D. Anosike added 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Saints (0-2, 2-5). 

Dylon Cormier scored a career-high 22 points and knocked down five 3-pointers for the Greyhounds (2-0, 6-2), who are off to their best starting in their Division I history.

Siena turned the ball over 20 times, as Loyola had 19 steals.

The Saints cut the lead to six on four different occasions, in the second half, but couldn't get over the hump.
