Francesca Schiro scored 30 points, but Siena couldn’t overcome Binghamton’s late surge, falling 79-73 at MVP Arena. The Saints led by seven at halftime and tied the game after three quarters, but Binghamton’s 9-0 run in the fourth put the Bearcats in control.

By the Numbers
  • Schiro: 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range.
  • Siena: 11 made 3-pointers, 18 assists and 18 points off turnovers.

Yes, But

Siena showed plenty of offense, with Myanna Hatchette scoring 13 points and Caydence Hadley adding 12. But Binghamton outscored the Saints 27-20 in the third quarter, then turned a one-point deficit into an eight-point lead with its fourth-quarter run.

What's Next

Siena (1-2) travels to Syracuse on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for a 6 p.m. game against the Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome.

Bottom Line

Schiro’s career-level scoring night wasn’t enough: Siena’s next step is turning strong stretches into a full-game finish.
