WATERVILLE – Eric Friend hit a 60-foot shot at the buzzer as the Monks of Standish stunned host Colby College and pulled out an 85-83 men’s basketball victory Thursday night.

Colby had led 77-70 with 1:21 to go, but St. Joseph’s pulled ahead 82-80 with seven seconds remaining on an Alberto Rue 3-pointer.

The Mules’ Mark Gaudet was fouled attempting a 3 with 0.9 seconds left and made all three free throws to put Colby up one.

Friend then took the inbounds and, without dribbling, fired up the game winner.

Friend and Elbie Murphy each scored 20 points to pace the Monks. Rue added 13 points, and Raymond Eatmon had 12.

Artie Cutrone topped the Mules with 24 points, Michael Russell and Mac Simpson had 15 each and Adam Choice 11.
