BROOKLYN – Greg Brown (Odenton, Md./Archbishop Spalding) scored a season-high 15 points, but the Saint Francis men's basketball team fell at first-place St. Francis Brooklyn, 66-54, on Saturday afternoon.

The Flash (14-13, 8-8) held the lead for more of the game than the Terriers, and Brown's jumper with 12:44 remaining in the game gave the Flash a six-point lead, 41-35. But after Brown hit another layup to make it 43-41 Flash with 11:26 left, SFU went the next 6:46 without making a field goal. In the meantime, the Terriers turned the two-point deficit into a 53-46 lead on Tyreek Jewell's jumper with 4:51 to play.

Malik Harmon (Queens, N.Y./Christ the King) scored the next six points for the Flash, and his layup with 2:32 to play pulled the Flash to within five, 57-52. The Terriers, however, scored nine of its final 11 points from the free throw line to salt away the game. St. Francis Brooklyn finished 19-for-21 from the free throw line. Harmon had 13 points and a pair of steals.

The Flash, a team that loves to shoot from outside, started the game with a different approach. The Flash made nine field goals in the first half and six came in the paint. SFU attempted just three three pointers in the first half without making one. But the Flash took advantage of eight first-half Terrier turnovers by converting them into 12 points. The Flash forced SFBK into 16 turnovers for the game while scoring 18 points off of them.

The game was either in the Flash's favor or tied for almost 17 minutes in the first half. Earl Brown (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter)'s layup with 13:01 left in the first gave the Flash its largest lead at 12-6. The Flash made 9-of-12 foul shots in the first half, and two of Ollie Jackson (Dallas, Texas/Pinkston )'s four makes in the period gave the Flash a one-point lead with 1:51 to play. St. Francis Brooklyn jumped back ahead, however, as Greg Brown (Odenton, Md./Archbishop Spalding)'s bucket in the final seconds gave the Terriers a 28-27 lead at halftime. Jackson finished with nine points and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line. Earl Brown (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter) reached double figures for the ninth straight game, scoring 10 points while grabbing five rebounds.

The Flash returns home Thursday night for the final home regular season game against Mount St. Mary's at 7 p.m.
