STANDISH, Maine – Add Saint Joseph's College to the list of in-state opponents to get a close-up look at what UMaine-Farmington men's basketball can do when Terion Moss is in the zone.

On the heels of a 48-point night against the University of Southern Maine last Saturday, Moss scored 46 points to lead the University of Maine at Farmington men's basketball team to a come-from-behind, 92-82 win over Saint Joseph's College on Tuesday night at the Alfond Center.

Moss went 14-of-24 from the field, including seven 3-point field goals, and was 11-of-11 at the free-throw line.  

Senior post player Jack Kane charted his fourth double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 assists, to go with four blocks. Dylan Griffin also logged nine points while Kyle Donlin came off the bench to add eight points and dish out five assists.

Saint Joseph's College (1-5) looked like it would give UMaine-Farmington (3-1) a rough night as the game approached the midway point of the first half. As the game clock passed the 11:00 mark of the opening frame, the Monks held a 14-point lead over the Beavers, 28-14, while holding Moss to just six points.

An 11-2 run lasting nearly four minutes brought UMaine-Farmington back to within five, 30-25, and a Moss three-point jumper with 3:07 to play in the half made it a one possession game in the Monks' favor, 39-37.

UMaine-Farmington finally caught Saint Joseph's in the waning seconds of the half on a Nathan Poulin layup and a Moss jumper, giving the Beavers a 48-45 lead at the intermission.

Saint Joseph's darted out to a six-point lead, 59-53, over the first five minutes of the second half, but UMaine-Farmington quickly reeled the Monks back in. An 11-0 UMF run, fueled by three-pointers from Moss, Donlin, and Griffin, and capped by a Will Harriman jumper, vaulted the Beavers into a 66-61 lead with 10:41 remaining and UMaine-Farmington led the rest of the way.

The Monks stayed with two possessions of the Beavers until another 9-0 surge gave UMaine-Farmington an 86-75 lead with 3:32 to play, giving UMF some breathing room against Saint Joseph's.

UMaine-Farmington shot .458 (33-of-72) from the field with a season-best 11 three-pointers on 33 attempts, while holding Saint Joseph's to a .407 (33-of-81) clip. The Monks were able to outperform the Beavers on the boards, 50-42, including a 16-10 advantage on the offensive glass.

UMaine-Farmington returns home for a pair of games after the Thanksgiving break, starting with a matchup with UMaine-Augusta on Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 5:30 p.m. at Dearborn Gym.
