SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) Junior Robinson scored 17 points, hitting 10 of 12 from the free throw line, and Mount St. Mary's rolled to a 71-53 win over Bryant on Saturday.
Charles Glover added 13 points for Mount St. Mary's (13-16, 10-6 Northeast) and BK Ashe had 11 with 10 rebounds as the Mountaineers bounced back from Thursday's loss to Central Connecticut State.

Bryant (7-22, 4-12) cut the gap to single digits on a layup from Marcel Pettway to trail 58-50 with 3:13 left but it was as close as the Bulldogs would get.
