Iona MBB Falls at Mount St. Mary's 72-65

EMMITSBURG, MD - The Iona University men's basketball team fell 72-65 to Mount St. Mary's in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play at Knott Arena Sunday afternoon. Graduates Idan Tretout and Joel Brown and freshman Jeremiah Quigley led the Gaels with double-digit efforts in the loss.

THE RUNDOWN

Mount St. Mary's took an early 16-5 lead through the first seven and a half minutes taking advantage of a cold start by the Gaels on the offensive end. Iona converted just one of its first 13 attempts from the field, missing its first eight. The Maroon & Gold quickly got back into the game, however, scoring the next 13 straight points over a 4:51 span and led 18-16 following a steal and a wide-open Brown layup with 7:03 to play that made the score 18-16. Iona's largest lead was 25-22 with 2:48 remaining on a pull up jumper inside the paint by Quigley. The Mountaineers scored the final eight points of the half to take a 30-25 advantage into the break.
 
After the Mount scored on its first two possessions of the second half to increase its run to 12-0 and a nine-point lead, the Gaels scored 11 of the next 13 points to even the score at 36-36 at 16:17. It was the final tie score of the contest as Mount St. Mary's answered with an 11-2 run of their own over the next 4:21, reclaiming a nine point lead with 11:18 remaining. Six straight Iona points got the game within one possession less than two minutes later. The home team answered with seven straight and the first double-digit lead of the contest. Down 10 with 5:01 to play, Iona chipped away with a 13-4 run and trailed by one with 1:17 on the clock. The Mountaineers scored eight straight including six from the free throw line before a Quigley layup on the final possession made the final margin of seven.
