LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- Justin Robinson scored 25 points and Monmouth overtook Rider in the final two minutes to earn a school record 10th consecutive victory 74-69 on Monday night.
A Kealen Washington-Ives free throw followed by a Kahlil Thomas jumper gave Rider (13-12, 6-8 MAAC) a 69-66 lead with 1:44 left.
A Chris Brady layup on the ensuing possession for Monmouth (20-5, 12-2) cut it to 69-68. After Thomas missed a 3-pointer, Robinson made a layup which gave the Hawks the lead for good with 54 seconds left.
