COLCHESTER, Vt. - The Saint Michael's College men's basketball team trailed by four points with a little more than four minutes remaining on Tuesday before the University of New Haven scored its final nine points on free throws to pull away for a 75-65 Northeast-10 Conference win at the Ross Sports Center.

 The Purple Knights had their three-game winning streak snapped in slipping to 7-9 overall and 6-6 in the league, while the Chargers are 12-4 and 8-4. Seven of the Purple and Gold's losses have come by 10 points or less.

 Sophomore Mike Holton Jr. (Portland, Ore./The Winchendon School) notched game highs of 26 points and six assists for the hosts, shooting 4-of-9 from three-point range, while senior Tom Ward (Brighton, East Sussex, England/Saint Francis [N.Y.]) was 5-for-7 from beyond the arc for 16 points.
