MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — Robert Morris used a strong second half surge to defeat rival Saint Francis, 77-67,  in the Northeast Conference tournament championship. Dante Treacy, AJ Bramah, Josh Williams and Yannis Mendy all scored in double-figures as the top-seeded Colonials extended a nine-point halftime lead to as much as 19 in the second half en route to a convincing win in front of an electric home crowd on Peoples Court at the UPMC Events Center. Keith Braxton led the Red Flash with 22 points.
