COLONIE, N.Y. (AP) _ John Travers threw for 224 yards including an 85-yard touchdown pass to help give LaSalle University a 17-7 win over Siena College Saturday in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Travers' bomb to Raymond Santiago (2 catches, 99 yards) came with just 46 seconds left in the half.

Early in the fourth quarter, Siena (1-3, 1-2) was to get the ball again, but a punt was mishandled by Luis Gonzales and recovered at Siena's 40-yard line. Facing third-and-24, LaSalle (2-2, 1-2) back-up quarterback Steve Szydlik hit Mike McKeown for a key 28-yard completion. Brian Small then scored on a 4-yard run with 6:24 left for the game's final score.

LaSalle was held to 66 yards rushing, but threw for 265 yards using three quarterbacks.

Siena was led by running back Joe Penizotto who gained 97 yards on 30 carries.
