FDU (4-6) took a nine-point lead into halftime and a quick jumper made it 11 just out of the break. But a 16-0 run by Saint Peter’s during a four-minute span put the Peacocks up 47-41 with 12:47 remaining, their biggest lead of the game and first since it was 7-6.
The Knights battled back to retake the lead and were up 59-55 with 3:43 remaining when the offensive wheels fell off.
