NEW YORK (AP) Jordan Price scored 28 points and Khalid Lewis made a key 3 with 1:28 left to give La Salle a 76-69 victory against Massachusetts in the second round of the Atlantic 10 tournament on Thursday.

Donte Clark led UMass with 23 points and Cady Lalanne had 17 points and 16 rebounds.

Steve Zack made a short hook to put La Salle up 62-58 with 3:30 left in the second half, but Clark's 3 drew UMass to within one with two minutes remaining.

With the shot clock winding down, Lewis turned and fired a 3 from the corner to put La Salle up 69-63.

Price helped seal the win with five free throws in the final 1:04. Zack had 13 points and 12 rebounds.
