Saint Rose men’s basketball records season’s 1st win

Freshmen Tray Alexander and Shane O’Dell led the Saint Rose men’s basketball team to its first win of the season Wednesday night, as the Golden Knights won 73-63 against Molloy.

O’Dell had 21 points and eight rebounds in the victory at Quealy Gymnasium in Rockville Centre, while Alexander contributed 19 points and 10 assists.

Saint Rose led 30-28 at halftime. The Golden Knights were up as many as 13 points in the second half, and maintained at least a two-possession advantage for the final 12 minutes of the contest.

Before topping Molloy (2-3), Saint Rose (1-1) lost its opening game 97-92 against St. Thomas Aquinas last week.

Saint Rose next plays Monday against American International.
