Fairleigh Dickinson senior Sidney Sanders Jr. has been tough to contain for opponents all season long and proved to be just as difficult to contain on Wednesday, scoring a career-high 28 points and being a one man wrecking crew to the Stony Brook defense. First year head coach Greg Herenda said that when he took […]
Stony Brook 77, Fairleigh Dickinson 62
Stony Brook used a 9-0 run in the final minutes to distance themselves from Fairleigh Dickinson, after a lead as large as 17 in the second half closed to three, and beat the Knights 77-62 at Pritchard Gymnasium Wednesday night.
