Army started the contest on a 6-0 run but a little more than six minutes into the game the Cadets held just a slim edge at 10-7. Army then extended its advantage to 24-13 at the 7:59 mark to create a double-digit gap between the teams. St. Francis Brooklyn would not go away though sparking a 9-0 run to pull within 24-22. The Cadets responded with a run of their own to push the lead back to twin figures at 25-41 with two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the opening half. Army then maintained that edge and took a 44-30 lead into the break. St. Francis Brooklyn's score at halftime marked the Black Knights' second-best defensive first half and its best opening period against a Division I opponent. Read More
