LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) — Jeff Jones scores 18 points, including five 3-pointers, to pace five in double figures for Rider in an 83-72 win over Siena Sunday.

In a back-and-forth game, Penn hit a 3 to put the Broncs up 35-27 at halftime. But the Saints stormed back after intermission, as Evan Hymes hit a trio of 3-pointers to help fuel a 23-10 run for a 15-point lead with about 13 minutes left.

Down 57-56 with 8 12 minutes to play, Jones hit a pair of 3-pointers as Rider put together a 13-4 run to win it.
