ALBANY, N.Y. – Michael Bourke (South Orange, N.J./The Hun School of Princeton) scored a game-high 16 points, but a second half comeback by the New Haven men's basketball team came up short as the Chargers fell to the Saint Rose Golden Knights 72-60 in a Northeast-10 Conference game on Saturday afternoon.
