SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (Dec. 4, 2004) – Nazareth used a 6-0 run to close the game, overcoming a one-point deficit with just over a minute to go, to defeat City College of New York, 64-59, in the consolation game of the Skidmore College Tournament Saturday.

Trailing by one point, 59-58, with time winding down, Nazareth got a basket by Ameneiros with 1:08 left to take the lead for good, 60-59. Canori then hit a jumper along the left baseline on Nazareth's possession to make it 62-59. After CCNY misfired on its chance to tie the score, Matt Groot was fouled while grabbing the rebound and sank both resulting free throws to seal the win.
