Northeast Conference: Northeast Conference Tournament Semifinals

Northeast Conference Tournament Semifinals: No. 1 Robert Morris became the first top seed to suffer a major upset in conference tournament action — beating VCU by a few minutes before the Rams lost to William and Mary in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament. No. 4 Mount St. Mary’s hammered the Colonials 83-65 with four players reaching double figures in scoring, led by sophomore guard Jeremy Goode’s 23 points. The Mountaineers will play No. 2 Wagner or No. 3 Sacred Heart for the Northeast Conference championship. No. 3 Sacred Heart led No. 2 Wagner from wire to wire for a 55-49 victory. The Pioneers will host Mount St. Mary’s Wednesday with an NCAA Tournament bid on the line. Senior guard Drew Shubik had a great game for the Pioneers, scoring 13 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Sacred Heart won 67-59 in the only meeting at Mount St. Mary’s. [3/09/08]
