Recap
Playing their second game in three days, the Siena Saints would be strong on defense but struggle offensively as the Green and Gold fell to the St. Bonaventure Bonnies by a final score of 50-42 Thursday night. The Saints held the Bonnies without a three pointer on the game, which would be only the third time since 2001 the Saints would hold an opponent without a three. The last time the Saints held an opponent without a triple would be Feb. 19, 2011 when the Saints beat Saint Peter's 57-40 at the Yanitelli Center, holding the Peacocks 0-for-8. Siena was led by a 14-point showing from fifth year Rayshel Brown.
