FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Manhattan Drops Home Game to Saint Peter's.

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan led early in the first half before Saint Peter's defense limited the Jaspers over the next 30 minutes in a 73-51 win for the Peacocks.

Ant Nelson hit a 3-pointer to give Manhattan (14-14, 7-12 MAAC) a 13-8 lead at the 12:35 mark of the first half. It was the largest lead of the night for the Jaspers.

Saint Peter's (15-11, 13-6) took the lead for good on a pair of Doug Edert free throws to make it 19-18 at the 8:42 mark of the half. The Peacocks closed the half on a 14-0 run to lead 35-20 at the half.

The first six points of the second half went to Saint Peter's before Romar Reid hit a corner 3-pointer to end the run. Reid's triple started an 8-1 stretch for the Jaspers to pull within 14 with 14:51 to play. That would be as close as the Jaspers would get. Saint Peter's would extend the lead to as many as 24 in the second half.

Warren Williams had 12 points, six rebounds, and a pair of blocks for Manhattan. Josh Roberts pulled down a game-high eight rebounds and added five points.

Daryl Banks III led four Peacocks in double figures with 13 points.
