Siena Drops Another MAAC Game: To Rider This Time

Siena fell to Rider last night at the Times Union Center in Albany by a final score of 68-60.  Siena had beaten Rider in their first matchup this year down in New Jersey but this was not the case last night.  Siena's Ryan Rossiter scored a game high 26 points and pulled down 15 rebounds for yet another double-double performance.


”The frustration I have is, I feel bad for Ryan Rossiter,” Buonaguro concluded. “That’s who I feel bad for. The way he plays for 39 minutes, he deserves better and that’s what I’m most upset about. Not the loss, the frustration for Ryan Rossiter, who’s a great player. Not a good player. A great player.”
