American spoils SFU's home opener

BOX SCORE LORETTO, Pa. (Nov. 30, 2013) – Jesse Reed scored 20 points and John Schoof had 18 as American University spoiled the home opener for Saint Francis with a 75-43 win on Saturday.

The Eagles (2-4) were trailing 8-7 when Reed fueled a 22-5 run with nine points. He also had a couple of steals and an assist as American pulled away.

"It's one thing to be out-executed but I'm disappointed in our effort," said SFU coach Rob Krimmel.  "I thought our guys would come out with a focus."

"We've got to do a better job, when things aren't going our way, of not letting our emotions get the better of us.  In a game like this where we didn't make some shots early, it allowed them to open up a lead."

American led 33-20 at the half and scored the first five points of the second half, turning that into a decisive 14-2 run.

Sophomore Stephon Mosley (Harlem, N.Y./Seton Hall Prep) came off the bench to score 12 for the Red Flash (1-6), all on 3-pointers. Saint Francis shot just 31 percent – compared to American's 54 percent – and was out-rebounded 42-20.

Junior Ollie Jackson (Dallas, Texas/Pinkston ) had a solid all-around game for the Flash scoring nine points to go with three blocks, two boards and a steal.  Earl Brown (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter) led SFU with seven rebounds.

Saint Francis is back in action on Wednesday when it welcomes Lehigh for a 7 p.m. contest.
