EMMITSBURG, Md. – It took three years for a Saint Francis men's basketball player to record 20 rebounds in a game, and now the same player has done it twice in three games. Senior forward Ronnie Drinnon (Jamestown, Ohio/Greenview) tied his career-high – one that he set just a week ago – with 20 rebounds in Saturday afternoon's 66-61 loss at Mount St. Mary's. He added 11 points to get his 14^th double-double of the season and fifth in a row.

That mammoth effort on the glass looked like it would come in another Red Flash victory after the team had a strong start of the second half. SFU went into the break trailing, 34-29, but SFU went on an 11-2 run to start the half to flip the score in its favor, 40-36. Ben Millaud-Meunier (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier) scored five points in that run and Malik Harmon (Queens, N.Y./Christ the King) had a pair of jumpers to cap it.

A three pointer from Junior Robinson brought the Mount back to within a point, but the Flash again went on an extended run. This time is was 12-2 in SFU's favor. Basil Thompson (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter) scored twice, Greg Brown (Odenton, Md./Archbishop Spalding) had a three-point play, Josh Nebo (Katy, Texas/Cypress Lakes) scored inside and Georgios Angelou (Halkida, Greece/Lykeio Kanithou) hit a three to push the lead to 52-41 with 8:20 to play. Thompson tied his career high with 16 points in just 18 minutes off the bench. Brown had 14 points to reach double figures for the second time in three games.

That's where things turned sour. That three pointer by Angelou turned out to be the Red Flash's last field goal until a Brown three pointer with just 16 seconds to play. In that eight-minute stretch, the Red Flash scored on six free throws and watched its 11-point lead dissolve into a seven-point deficit. While SFU shot well from the free throw line (21-for-28; 75 percent), the five free throws the team missed in the second half came in that eight-minute stretch. SFU missed just twice throughout the rest of the game.

On the other side, Mount St. Mary's turned the momentum in its favor with back-to-back three pointers on the two possessions following Angelou's make. Two Robinson free throws with 4:40 left gave the Mount a 58-56 lead, and SFU couldn't again pull even or ahead.

Nebo had two more blocks to push his season total to 41. He's the third Red Flash player to reach 40 blocks in a season and is just two behind Jerry Mack for second place on the school's single-season list.

Saint Francis returns home to face St. Francis Brooklyn on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
