GAME NOTES | LIVE STATS | @MountAthletics

FIRST FIVE
1.  Mount St. Mary's captured their first win of the season, 73-69, at Bucknell on Saturday.  Kristijan Krajina and Gregory Graves each scored 16 points to pace the Mountaineers to the victory.  Krajina scored back-to-back buckets to give the Mount a 69-66 lead with two minutes left.  Bucknell cut the deficit to 70-69, but missed a free throw with 16 seconds left.  Taylor Danaher corralled the rebound, and was fouled.  He hit both free throws to make it a three-point game.  Bucknell then shot an air ball on the potential tying three, and Junior Robinson's free throw with 1.3 seconds left sealed the win.

2. The Mount's starting frontcourt of center Taylor Danaher (7-0) and forward Kristijan Krajina (6-11) and Gregory Graves (6-7) combined for 38 points, 17 rebounds and five assists in the win over Bucknell.  Krajina and Graves each had 16 points in the win.  

3.  After scoring 11 points in the first half of the 53-41 home loss to Maryland-Eastern Shore, the Mountaineers scored 14 points in the opening five minutes at Bucknell to take an early lead.  The Mount trailed 41-36 at the half, but rebounded in the second half to earn the road victory.

4.  Road non-conference wins have been rare for the Mount, which is 25-129 on the road in non-conference play since moving to NCAA Division I in 1988-89.  However, including Saturday's 73-69 win at Bucknell, the Mount has four non-conference road wins under head coach Jamion Christian.
 
5. The Mount is back in action at Seton Hall on Tuesday, December 2nd, with a 7:00 p.m. tipoff.  The game will be shown on FoxSports2.
