With a standing-room only crowd inside the building and dozens more stuck outside in the cold and unable to get in, it was the Knights who held off a late surge from the host, and held on for a 61-57 victory.
Mount Vernon (9-3) surged ahead early, and led 35-23 at halftime. But the Huguenots tied the game and took the lead in the fourth, and were up 54-51 with just over 3:00 to play. But MV tied it with 2:26 left and never trailed again.
Noah Morgan led the Knights with 14 points, and Justin Alleyne had 11. Justin Micken and Antoine Lewis led New Rochelle (6-5) with 11 points each, and James Wallace added nine.
