FIRST FIVE
1.  Mount St. Mary's rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit for a 60-51 win over St. Francis Brooklyn in the NEC Quarterfinals on Wednesday night.  BK Ashe led the Mount with 18 points while Elijah Long chipped in 11.  The Mount trailed 38-24 with 17 minutes remaining in the game.

2.  The Mountaineers have posted a winning record in NEC play in each of the past four seasons, the only team in the conference to achieve that feat.  It is also the first time the Mountaineers have posted four consecutive winning seasons in NEC play since joining the conference in 1989-90.  

3.  Junior guard BK Ashe led the Mount with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the 60-51 come-from-behind win over St. Francis Brooklyn.  Ashe became the 46th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points with his 18th point, a free throw with 32 seconds left in the game.

4.  Junior Robinson was named Second Team All-Northeast Conference while BK Ashe earned Third Team All-NEC.  It is the second consecutive season the Mount has had two All-NEC players in the same season.  Last year, Gregory Graves and Ashe each were named Third Team All-NEC.

5.  Mount St. Mary's is 6-2 in the Northeast Conference Tournament under head coach Jamion Christian, including a 5-1 mark on the road.  The Mountaineers advanced to the NEC title game in 2013 in his first year, and won the title in 2014.  The Mount has advanced to the NEC semifinals in three of his four seasons.
