Long Island (2-3, 1-0 NEC) opened Northeast Conference play with a 73-58 win at Saint Francis (Pa.)in DeGol Arena. Freshman Julian Boyd came off the bench to score 13 points as four Blackbirds finished in double-figures and senior Ron Manigault grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds. Long Island trailed by five in the early going, but a 7-0 run sparked by a threepointer from sophomore Kyle Johnson put LIU ahead for good. A lay-in by junior Jaytornah Wisseh gave the Blackbirds a 14-11 lead it would not relinquish. Sophomore David Hicks started an 11-2 spurt with a lay-up and then a steal followed by another lay-in. A trey from Johnson with 3:31 to go in the half gave LIU a 32-17 lead before the Red Flash chipped away and cut the deficit to nine on a Grant Suprenant jumper to make it 34-25 at the break. LIU opened the second half with a 14-2 run to build a 21-point cushion. Boyd took over from there scoring five straight points, capped by a thunderous dunk to make it 53-31 with 12:10 to play. Another lay-in by Boyd gave LIU its largest lead of the night at 56-32 and the Red Flash got no closer than 13 the rest of the way. Johnson led all scorers with 17 points, while Wisseh and Hicks each finished with 11 points to round out LIU’s double-digit scorers. Manigault’s work on the glass helped the Blackbirds to a 40-29 advantage, which accounted for 26 second-chance LIU points. Saint Francis shot 43.6 percent from the floor, but were just 2-of-13 (.154) from three-point range. Devin Sweetney led three players in double-digits for the Red Flash with 13 points.

Long Island fell to Robert Morris, 81-70, in the Sewall Center. Junior Aurimas Adomaitis led four Blackbirds in double-figures with a career-high 17 points, but it was not enough to overcome the Colonials who shot 56.6 percent from the floor. Long Island (2-4, 1-1 NEC) used an 8-2 run early on to take a 16-15 lead on a three-pointer by freshman Michael Culpo with 12:28 to go in the first half, but that was LIU’s last lead of the night. Rob Robinson tied the game on a foul shot and sparked a 17-4 spurt for RMU. Ifeanyi Ehirim capped the run with a dunk to make it 32-20 with 4:30 left in the half. A lay up by sophomore Kyle Johnson cut the deficit to seven, but Jimmy Langhurst scored the last five points of the half to put the Colonials up 39-27 at the intermission. LIU pulled within six early in the second half after Adomaitis scored three points and a three-pointer by Johnson was followed by a pair of foul shots from junior Jaytornah Wisseh to make it 41-35. That was as close as the Blackbirds got as the Colonials’ lead eventually swelled to 67-51 following five straight points on a three from Gary Wallace and jumper from Mezie Nwigwe. Adomaitis scored three straight points to start a run for the Blackbirds as they pulled within 69-60 on a trifecta from Johnson with 3:22 to play, but the Colonials scored the next five points and never trailed by fewer than 11 points from there. Adomaitis finished the night 6-of-7 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line to go with six rebounds. Johnson and Culpo added 14 points apiece, while freshman Julian Boyd added 11 points and eight rebounds. LIU shot 55.6 percent in the second half, but it could not overcome 29.7 percent in the first half. Robinson paced Robert Morris with 15 points. Wallace and Langhurst added 13 points each, while Nwigwe chipped in with 10 points. The Colonials shot a blistering 56.6 percent overall and 50.0 percent from three-point range.
