ALBANY, N.Y.<\/strong> \u2013 University at Albany men\u2019s basketball (15-13, 9-6 AE) gave its seniors one last win in the regular season at SEFCU Arena, downing UNH 66-48. Sam Rowley<\/a> led UAlbany with 19 points and six rebounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe consider ourselves a family first,\u201d said Rowley. \u201cIt\u2019s great to have the seniors win in front of their families, and we had a great team win. It means a lot. To capitalize on the lead we had and extend it to cement the win was good for us heading into Stony Brook.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Though UAlbany did not score for the first 3:30 of the contest, seniors DJ Evans<\/a> and David Wiegmann<\/a> evened the score in just five seconds. A steal and dunk from Gary Johnson<\/a> gave UAlbany the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 12-4 run for the Great Danes on 5-for-6 shooting extended the lead to five with 12:30 left in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNH\u2019s leading scorer Chris Pelcher picked up his second personal foul with 9:12 left in the first half, but the Albany native didn\u2019t stay out of the game long, returning with 6:30 left in the first when the Wildcats were down eight.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Pelcher\u2019s return, UAlbany committed four turnovers to let UNH sneak back within two points. Peter Hooley<\/a> converted on the traditional three-point play with seven seconds left in the first half to send the Purple & Gold into the locker room with a five point-lead, 30-25.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rowley led all scorers at the half with nine points.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Danes and Wildcats went back and forth to open the second half, but two offensive rebounds from Rowley kept UNH at bay, creating second-chance opportunities. The junior scored six points in two minutes to give the Purple & Gold a six-point lead, 40-34 with 13 minutes left.<\/span><\/p>\n

An and-one from Luke Devlin<\/a> ended a late run by the Wildcats, extending UAlbany\u2019s lead to nine with 6:19 remaining. Four straight points from Johnson gave the Great Danes their first double-digit lead 56-45, with five minutes left. UNH failed to score in the final 4:39 of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was special tonight,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThe guys were focused and we want to do whatever it takes to win. Tonight we had a good team, collective win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson recorded his 12th consecutive game in league play with at least 10 points. John Puk<\/a> recorded three blocks against the Wildcats. The senior has tallied three blocks or more in three of his last four games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rowley (19), Johnson (15), Evans (13) and Hooley (12) all recorded double figures in scoring. Hooley, Johnson and Rowley also all recorded a perfect 5-for-5 clip from the free throw line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Brown<\/a>\u2019s squad concludes the regular season at Stony Brook (20-9, 12-3 AE) on Sunday at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 from Pritchard Gym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
