LORETTO, Pa. (AP) — Earl Brown scored 16 points and Saint Francis made 7 of 8 free throws in the final minute to hold off Sacred Heart for a 68-66 win Saturday.

After Phil Gaetano’s 3-pointer brought Sacred Heart within 61-60, Brown hit two free throws with 29 seconds left.

Ben Millaud-Meunier made 5 of 6 free throws over the last 17 seconds, missing his last attempt intentionally with 0.9 seconds left to keep Sacred Heart from a good look at a last-second shot.

Millaud-Meunier scored 14. Ronnie Drinnon scored 11 and Dominique Major had 10 for Saint Francis (4-15, 2-4 Northeast Conference).
