HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) -Whitney Coleman and Yaniv Simpson each scored 15 points as Monmouth held off Fairleigh Dickinson 66-58 on Monday night.
Jhamar Youngblood added 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Hawks (6-20, 3-11 Northeast Conference), while R.J. Rutledge came off the bench to score nine points and pull down seven rebounds. The win also snapped Monmouth's six-game losing streak.
