NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Klinewski scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Lafayette beat St. Francis (Brooklyn) 74-72 on Monday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

But Auston Evans had an offensive rebound and finish with 20.7 seconds left for a two-possession lead.

Kyle Stout added 12 points and Evans had 10 — both career highs — for Lafayette (3-4).

Glenn Sanabria had 21 points and seven assists, and Hopkinson made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points for St. Francis (1-7).
