Second Half Surge Leads Pirates Past Peacocks

I attended tonight's game and I have got to say, for a while this team had me worried. The Pirates trailed at the half and until about 5 or 6 minutes to play in the game, they had not held a double-digit lead against a sub-par St. Peter's team. My worst fears subsided though after an 11-2 surge down the stretch rallied the Pirates to the 62-53 victory. Herb "Papacy" Pope had yet another double-double, as did Jordan Theodore. Chris Prescott was the leading scorer for the Peacocks. The Hall hosts Auburn on Friday night at 9 PM (ESPNU) and then faces NJIT at home next Tuesday night. The Pirates have to try to build on their 5-1 start so far if they want to be in contention for a Top 10 Big East Finish.
