He finished with 21 points, knocking down six threes on the way.

The Owls and Purple Knighs played an offensive, back and fourth first half that saw neither team go up by more than six. James' shooting helped keep Southern on pace with Saint Michael's, along with a string of two-man plays between Vargas and Chandler. They entered the break down two, 40-38.

Momentum shifted when the teams exited the locker rooms for the second half, with Southern coming out on fire. They opened the second half five for seven from three, stretching their lead all the way to 18. Saint Mike's did not bow out, even cutting the lead down to seven, but that was the closest it would get.

The Owls will return for their home opener, a NE10 Championship rematch versus Southern New Hampshire on Wednesday, November 20th at 7:30.
