MANCHESTER, NH (November 19, 2011) The Post University men's basketball team was defeated by St. Anselm Saturday afternoon. The Eagles are still searching for their first win of the 2011-2012 season as they now stand at 0-3.

From the tip off it was all St. Anselm. They took the lead just 10 seconds in on two free throws by Dino Mallios and never let Post get within two the rest of the game. After the Hawks pushed the lead to seven, the Eagles gained some momentum as they created turnovers on three straight possessions to pull the score to11-9 at 14:07. Post would score just 10 points the rest of the half and was down 38-19 at the break.

The second half was more of the same as St. Anselm pushed the lead to 30, outscoring the Eagles 30-10 in the first ten minutes of the half.  Nine straight points by Post, capped off by a three pointer by Zach Krischner with 4:09 left, cut the lead to 21, but it was too late as they fell 70-41.

Josh Lopez was the only Eagle in double figures, as he finished with 11 points. Geraldo Fernandez added nine off the bench. Mike Stepovich had seven boards, four offensive, in the defeat.

Fouls were a problem for Post, who had 17 on the day to the Hawks eight. They could never get it going on the glass and were outrebounded 41-28.

The Eagles will open their home schedule Tuesday night as they take on in-state rival Bridgeport.
