Robert Morris joins women's tourney

MOON TWP — Nina Augustin hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points and Robert Morris avenged last year’s Northeast Conference tournament championship game loss with a 65-54 win over Saint Francis (Pa.) on Sunday, earning its sixth NCAA Tournament berth.

Isabella Posset scored 12 points and tournament MVP Nneka Ezeigbo had 11 points with 12 rebounds for the top-seeded Colonials (22-10), who lost to the Red Flash in last year’s title game 66-56.

Augustin and Ester Castedo hit big 3-pointers down the stretch to send Robert Morris, which was in its sixth-straight championship game, to the NCAAs for the second time in three years.
