ARLINGTON, Va. - The Saints played host to the Marlins of Virginia Wesleyan on Tuesday evening looking to hop back into the win column after a tight loss to Amherst on Sunday.

Despite staying on the heels of the Marlins for the entirety of the game, the Saints fell by a final score of 65 to 56 to fall to 3-2 on the year. 

Notable

• Marcus Stubbs and Wyatt Hockenberry, in his first game back after missing the last two, each put up 14 in the game. Hockenberry went 3-for-6 from beyond the arc, with Stubbs adding five boards. 
• Jack Bifano, Ra'Shawn Cook, and Jack Farrelly each added five rebounds in the game. 

How It Happened

• After falling down 8-2 in the first two minutes, Stubbs put the Saints back on the board with a three at the 17:47 mark to give MU life.
• At the 17:00 mark, Stubbs drove in the contested lane and sank the layup, earning the foul in the meantime to head to the line with a chance for the three-point play. The junior capitalized, tying up the early affair at 8-8.
• Down the stretch of the first half, Isaac Harris took advantage of the open look in the paint, putting the Saints within four heading into halftime. 
• The two teams went back-and-forth to open the second half, with Bifano sinking a layup to put Marymount within two. 
• The Saints battled down to the final minutes of play, but the Marlins ultimately held onto their lead, taking the win back to Virginia Beach. 

Up Next

• Marymount will take the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving before heading to Harrisonburg, Va. on Sunday, Nov. 27 to take on Eastern Mennonite at 2:00 PM.
• The Saints will host Catholic next Wednesday, Nov. 30 for a Pope's Cup matchup at 7:00 PM.
