LORETTO, Pa. (AP) Earl Brown scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and St. Francis Pennsylvania held on to defeat Mount St. Mary's 63-60 on Thursday night.
Will Miller's 3-pointer with seven seconds left pulled Mount St. Mary's within 61-60 but a second later Greg Brown made two free throws for the Red Flash. Then St. Francis fouled Junior Robinson with two seconds remaining before he could attempt a 3-pointer. He missed the front end of the one-and-one but Earl Brown grabbed the rebound and saved the win, even though he missed two free throws with a second to play.
Greg Brown had 11 points, all in the second half, for the Red Flash (15-13, 9-8 Northwest Conference), who will have a winning record in the regular season for the first time in 10 years. They outscored the Mountaineers by nine at the foul line.
