DURHAM, N.H. -- Chris Lester scored 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting off the bench to help carry New Hampshire to an 81-64 win over Stony Brook on Saturday.

The lead grew to 20-5, and New Hampshire went to intermission ahead 35-14.
Despite scoring 50 second-half points, the Seawolves (16-9, 7-3) only managed to get within single digits once. Makale Foreman's 3-pointer with 7:15 remaining brought Stony Brook within 57-48.
Nick Guadarrama scored 14 for the Wildcats, Josh Hopkins 13 and Sean Sutherlin 12.
