NEW YORK (AP) — E.J. Stephens missed one free throw all game, but that miss gave St. Francis (Brooklyn) a 73-72 victory over Lafayette on Saturday.

Chauncey Hawkins made two free throws to give St. Francis a 72-70 lead with 6 seconds remaining in the game.

Stephens missed a 3-point try with two ticks on the clock but was fouled on the attempt. Stephens, who was 5 of 5 from the line, dropped in the first two free throws but missed the third. The Leopards got the rebound but could not score before time expired.
