Hernandez' 30 leads LIU Brooklyn past Sacred Heart, 69-60
FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Joel Hernandez turned a 3-point play and drilled a 3-pointer back-to-back to spark LIU Brooklyn to a 69-60 win over Sacred Heart in a Northeast Conference game Thursday night.
Alex Watson hit a pair of free throws to pull the Pioneers within two, 56-54 with 7:14 left, but Hernandez hit a jumper, drew the foul and added the free throw to make it 59-54, then hit from long range to make it an eight-point lead the Blackbirds extended to double digits down the stretch.
LIU Brooklyn is in sixth place in conference, one game back of a four-team logjam for second.
Hernandez was 9 of 11 from the line, scored 30 points total and grabbed six boards for LIU Brooklyn (11-13, 6-5). Jashaun Agosto added 15 points and dished four assists and Raiquan Clark contributed 12 points.
