Saint Peter's Earns First NCAA Bid In 16 Years

Mar 8, 2011 6:14 AM

St. Peter's defeated Iona 62-57 in the MAAC final on Monday night to secure their first NCAA Tournament bid in 16 years.

Jeron Belin scored 17 points to lead the Peacocks over the second-seeded Gaels.

St. Peter's coach John Dunne said his team likes to run, but after being blown out twice by Iona during the regular season, realized they had to slow things down to have a chance.

"As players, they have to believe in that," Dunne said. "If they were a different group, they might say, 'Hey, no, we can run with them.' You know, it's a pride thing. But these guys knew exactly what we needed to do to win."
