Nashua, NH- Rivier fell just short of their first conference win of the season as they lost to Albertus Magnus 87-80.  Garon Whitney (Dover, NH) tried to ignite his team with a thunderous dunk in the final minutes of the game, but the Raiders ran into foul trouble and just ran out of gas at the end of the game 

The Falcons were lead by the sharp shooting of Walden St. Juste (Hartford, CT) as he went 8-14 from the floor including 6 three pointers for a total of 24 points.  Ray Askew (Hamden, CT) was a spark off the bench as he had 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the game.  The Falcons also got a solid game out of Jefferson Lora (Bronx, NY) who went 6-7 from the field and ended up with 16 points on the afternoon.

Nick Bean (E. Longmeadow, MA) stepped up his game for the Raiders as he led all scorers in the game with 27 points and played a game high 39 minutes.  Senior Luke Brownell (Hubbardston, MA) had a nice game off the bench for the Raiders as he recorded a double-double for the game with 12 points and 10 rebounds.  Don Poitras (Bow, NH) had another solid game for the Raiders as he fell a rebound shy of double-double with 20 points and 9 rebounds.
