HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — Ny’Ceara Pryor had 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to help Sacred Heart beat FDU 72-60 and win the NEC title, earning the school’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2012. Trailing 56-55 with just over 3 minutes left in a back-and-forth fourth quarter, Sacred Heart scored the next 10 points, including four by Pryor to take control of the game. Her pullup jumper with the shot clock winding down made it 63-56 with 1:14 left and the Knights couldn’t recover. Chloe Wilson scored 19 points to lead FDU (24-7), which has never been to the NCAA Tournament. The school last won the NEC in 1992 but there was no automatic bid back then for the conference.
