Robert Morris claims NEC crown topping Saint Francis (PA) | |

Instead, he took a giant leap – one that landed him and the Colonials right into the NCAA tournament. Led by Treacy, Robert Morris used a second half surge to defeat league-rival Saint Francis, 77-67, Tuesday night in the Northeast Conference Tournament championship. MORE | |
