ALBANY - Rakeem Brookins hit what he called the biggest shot of his life just before the clock expired on Friday evening.

The shot gave the Saints a 57-54 victory over Canisius, netting them their first league victory and snapping an 11-game losing streak.

Siena played without Rob Poole (flu) or Trenity Burdine (academics) and lost both Brookins (knee) and Evan Hymes (eye) during the game.

Hymes finished with a game-high 20 points, while Brookins added 13 for the Saints.

The Griffins were led by Isaac Sosa, who scored 13.
