AMHERST, Mass. (AP) -- Cady Lalanne scored a career-high 22
points and his 14 rebounds tied his career best as Massachusetts
snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating Dayton 76-66
Saturday.



Chaz Williams' layup with 5:12 remaining put the Minutemen
(17-9, 7-6 Atlantic 10 Conference) ahead to stay, 62-60.
Following a turnover, Williams assisted on Sampson Carter's
layup 26 seconds later, one of his nine assists.



The Flyers (14-12, 4-8), who remained winless through six
Atlantic 10 road games, used an 11-0 run to lead 54-51 with
11:14 to play. But they were held to six points in the final 8
minutes.



Terrell Vinson, who finished with 13 points for Massachusetts,
matched those six points himself with a pair of 3-pointers in
the final 2 minutes. Freddie Riley added 12 points for the
Minutemen.



Vee Sanford led Dayton with 14 points and Josh Benson had 12.
