Saints sophomore Rodney Williams dives after a loose ball in a game against arch rival Golden Eagles from Cornerstone University. This was a key late season matchup which resulted in an exciting 97-95 win for the Saints in double overtime, adding yet another chapter to the infamous Cornerstone and Siena Heights rivalry. The victory helped Siena reach a 29-7 overall season record and a 10-2 WHAC record. They tied for the WHAC title with Indiana Tech and advanced to their fifth consecutive WHAC tournament finals where they lost 87-83 to Cornerstone. The Saints capped off an incredible season by advancing for the ninth straight time to the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship as the 15th seed. They faced a tough second-seeded Bellevue University in round two, and lost 78-75 in overtime. The Great Alumni Brew-Off!
