St. Francis Brooklyn overtakes Hartford in 74-67 win

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Yunus Hopkinson and Tyreek Jewell scored 20 points apiece to lift St. Francis Brooklyn to a 74-67 win over Hartford on Sunday.

Hopkinson hit 7 of 13 from the field and had four 3-pointers, including the go-ahead bucket late in the second half. Chris Hooper added 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help the Terriers (2-4) snap a three-game skid.

Trailing by nine early in the second half, St. Francis rallied with a 12-0 run - capped by Hopkinson's 3-pointer - to make it 58-55 with six minutes to play. Hartford stayed close, cutting the deficit to a point on three straight possessions but never regained the advantage.
