Ahmad Harrison was the latest to hand Saint Francis a dramatic victory with his 3-pointer as time expired to lift the Red Flash past Stonehill 63-61 in Northeast Conference action on Martin Luther King Day.

“It didn’t feel real when I took the shot. I think my feet move faster than me. I feel that it was enough time for me to get my shot off. With three seconds left, I can still find guys, but the Stonehill defender gave me too much space, and I took the shot,” Harrison said.

Harrison was clutch in the final 63 seconds after he tied the game at 58 on a triple and then hit the buzzer beater.

It was the second buzzer-beater for the Red Flash in 15 days after Paris Papadatos beat the horn in an 85-82 win against FDU on Jan. 4.

“Awesome gritty win. We talked at halftime about being resilient. On a night when it felt like nothing was falling, we kept challenging and pushing each other. I’m really proud of these guys fighting through to get the win,” SFU coach Luke McConnell said.

Harrison finished with a team-high 16 points, while Chris Moncrief (15 points) and Skylar Wicks (11 points) also reached double figures in the win.

Trailing 54-47 with 3:01 on the clock. The key point in the comeback might have been a Gestin Liberis offensive rebound and a kick-out to Harrison with 1:03 left to tie the game at 58.

A missed Stonehill jumper, a Moncrief rebound, and the front end of two free throws with 38 ticks left gave Saint Francis a 59-58 edge. Another missed 3-pointer by the Skyhawks, a Liberis defensive rebound, and a free throw put the Red Flash up two points with 16 seconds left.

However, Harrison inbounded the ball to Moncrief, who passed the ball back to Harrison. The senior raced up the floor to about 35 feet away and dialed up long distance as the game clock expired.

“The nice thing is that we have been here before. As a coach, you put the ball in your player’s hands and trust that they will make plays,” McConnell said.
