Playing against a Blueboy team that was without two of its three leading scorers, the Fighting Scots took advantage early, gaining a 26-15 lead. Anthony Beaird then finished off the half in style, netting a trio of three-pointers to push Monmouth's halftime lead to 37-21.
The Blueboys charged back with a 9-0 run to cut the gap to four points, and they hung around for the rest of the contest until Raun Singleton's trey put the Scots up nine with under three minutes left. Beaird, who finished with a game-high 18 points, finished things off from there by going 5-of-6 at the foul line.
Monmouth, now 5-8 on the year, enjoyed a 48-33 advantage on the boards, with Joe Terwelp and David Price combining for 23 rebounds. Price had his second straight double-double, as he added 13 points.
Brad Johnson scored 13 and Pete Jennings had 11 points and 11 rebounds as the Blueboys slipped to 7-8 on the year and 3-5 in the league.
