Bronx, N.Y. - Mount Saint Mary College was founded in 1959 by the Dominican Sisters who belong to the Dominican Order, founded by St. Dominic. Besides founding the Dominican order, Dominic is the patron saint of astronomers because at his baptism, his mother saw a star shining on his chest.

Dejour Reaves, junior forward
Akira Jacobs and junior forward
Rikus Schulte, who each netted ten points.
