Rapid Recap
Mount Saint Mary looked to rebound after their loss to Purchase as Ryan Graham got the first bucket of the game after a steal from his brother Brenden Graham. From here the Maccabees would go on an 11-2 run to take the lead. Connor Cyran cut the Yeshiva lead to just three as the Knights continued to hang around with one of the top teams in the Skyline. The Mount shot a solid 48.39% from the field in the first half, but the Maccabees upped that by shooting 61.29%. Senior guard AJ Piedra provided a spark off the bench for the Knights as he scored a career-high 9 points in just 15 minutes. Mount Saint Mary trailed by as much as 20 points in the first half, though they were able to make the score 46-33 going into the half off a JP Egan three at the buzzer.

The Knights struggled coming out of the half as they did not make a field goal until the 15:29 mark. Yeshiva dominated offensively as the Mount's great shooting performance did not carry over to the second half. The Knights had plenty of chances at the free throw line, but only shot 8-20, which is well below their season average. Mount Saint Mary would lose this one to the Maccabees 87-61.
