ALBANY - This was the type of game that Siena couldn't quite come out on top in, a few months back.

There's no debating this Saints (4-7, 6-16) team is playing better and they picked up another crucial league win on Friday night.

Rakeem Brookins scored 18 points, Rob Poole posted his first career double-double and Trenity Burdine chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds for Siena.

The Jaspers (4-7, 6-15) were led by Michael Alvarado, who scored 16, while Rhamel Brown added 13.
