Coyle matched a career-high with seven of the Saints season-high 13 threes in a 74-59 triumph at Manhattan.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nCoyle posted his first collegiate double-double with a season-high tying 23 points and a career-best 10 rebounds for Siena (12-7, 5-3) which improved to a perfect 7-0 in day games.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nCoyle finished just two threes shy of the program single-game mark for the Saints which shot 54.2% from downtown as a team, the highest percentage in nearly four years (57.1% vs. Quinnipiac on Jan. 30, 2022). Siena had entered play ranked 10th worst nationally in three-point percentage (.284) and 11th worst in threes per game (5.2).<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nReserves Terrance Jones (17 points) and Quron Elliott (15) led the way for Manhattan (8-12, 4-5) which shot just 37% including only 25% (7-28) from three to fall for the fourth time in their past five games.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Saints scored the first seven points and led throughout in a hot start. Siena embarked upon a 10-2 run down the stretch to open as much as a 19-point first half lead. The Saints shot a scintillating 61% from the field including 8-12 from three in the opening stanza to take a commanding 42-25 lead at the break.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nSiena maintained a double-digit lead through the second half and ultimately led by as many as 20 to win their third straight road game for the first time in three years.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sienasaints.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/justice-shoats\/10712\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10712\" target=\"_blank\">Justice Shoats<\/a> scored 16 points and was one of three separate players with five assists for the Saints which dished out 22 total, recording the program&#8217;s highest mark in six years since totaling 23 on Mar. 4, 2020 vs. Niagara.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sienasaints.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/gavin-doty\/10707\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10707\" target=\"_blank\">Gavin Doty<\/a> added 15 points, six rebounds, and five assists, and freshman reserve <a href=\"https:\/\/sienasaints.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/christian-jones\/10716\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10716\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Jones<\/a> matched a season-high with 12 points for Siena which shot 53% overall and was +9 (37-28) on the glass. \u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nHaving alternated wins and losses through its first six games of the New Year, the Saints will look to build momentum Monday.
