Junior Mike Stys (Hooksett, N.H.) and freshman Rodney Sanders (Linden, N.J.) led Southern New Hampshire with 16 points apiece.  Sanders also grabbed nine rebounds.  B.J. Cardarelli (Manchester, Conn.) added 11 points for Southern New Hampshire.

The two teams traded the lead five times in the opening 10 minutes before a three by John Nielsen 9:35 before intermission put the Hawks up for good, 18-15.  Saint Anselm took control with a late 12-3 run to build a 38-23 lead following a pair of Santo free throws with just under a minute left, and took a 38-25 lead into the locker room.

Saint Anselm scored the first six points of the second half to push the lead to 19 1:23 into the second half.   The Penmen outscored the Hawks 13-4 over the next three minutes and a Sanders basket with 15:19 on the clock made it 48-38.  SNHU pulled within eight, 55-47, with 12:22 left on another Sanders bucket, but that was as close as the guests would get, as Saint Anselm led by as many as 25 the rest of the way.
