Miami Gardens, FL - Saint Vincent College broke open a close game by outscoring Vermont State University Lyndon 34-13 over the final nine minutes of the first half.  The Bearcats then kept the Hornets at bay after halftime and cruised to a 92-67 victory in the Cruzin Classic at Saint Thomas University.  Saint Vincent improved to 6-3 on the season, while Lyndon fell to 4-5.

Wesley McIntyre (Troy, NY) led all scorers with 28 points.  Matt Doyle (Whitesboro, NY) scored ten points and grabbed a game high nine rebounds.  Rainwater also tallied ten points and grabbed six boards.
