JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Quadir Welton scored 18 points and Trevis Wyche added 17 more to lead Saint Peter's to an 84-70 win over Manhattan on Sunday.
Antwon Portley had 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting, including a pair of 3-pointers, and Samuel Idowu got 10 points for Saint Peter's (4-3, 1-1 Metro Atlantic). Welton and Wyche hit a combined 19 of 29 from the line.
The Peacocks shot 54 percent from the field and took control with an 18-4 run stretching across both sides of the intermission to make it 54-30 with 14:05 left. Portley had a 3-pointer and two jumpers in the breakaway run.
Manhattan (2-6, 0-2) edged into an early 5-4 lead with Calvin Crawford's 3-pointer less than five minutes into the game, but fell behind for good on Saint Peter's next possession.
