Colonials Corner

The legend of Stefan Perunicic is dying. After a dynamic performance in his first game against Robert Morris, Perunicic hasn’t done much of anything against the Colonials in the last two games. Last time around in Brooklyn it was Rickey Cadell’s 29 points that kept St. Francis in the game.

It was also a lackadaisical approach by Robert Morris in the second half that allowed Cadell and the Terriers to even dream of a win. Robert Morris was up 41-20 at the break, but hit just five field goals in the second half and relied on free throws to pull off the 67-63 win.

Records: Robert Morris (13-8, 8-1 NEC); St. Francis NY (9-11, 6-3 NEC).
