The Raiders got 15 poins and 11 rebounds from Mario Fleming to take a 64-56 win Monday at St. Louis Community College.

"Great bounce back," Bess said. "Really good defensive effort. Had a really good first half. We were very up and down in the second half."

Three Rivers (11-13) led 35-20 at halftime, then weathered an Archers rally in the second half.

Fleming, a St. Louis native, finished the game with 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Caleb Young added 14, Lamont Jackson had 13 and Kitenge finished with 11.

"Mario had a really good game in front of his home crowd," Bess said.
