The Saints Men's basketball team went into the game on Tuesday night on a 5 game win streak with the hopes of sneaking out a victory over a quality Hudson Valley squad. 

The Saints trailed early in the first half, getting down as many as ten points but fighting back and leading the Vikings 36-33 at the half. 

The Saints would then fall behind again by as many as 8 points in the early second half. 

North Country struggled shooting the basketball in a very tough gym, but used their toughness on the defensive end to keep the game close down the stretch. The game went back and forth battle in the last five minutes as both teams struggled struggled to score. With :44 seconds left in the game, the Saints took the lead for good with a Ryan Previna lay-up sealing the win.

"We showed a lot of composure down the stretch and really trusted our defense to help us put the game away," said Coach Jerrad Dumont. " I was very happy with how well the team stuck together down the stretch and the composure on the offensive end to take the lead."
