Junior\u00a0Raul Frias<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0made seven three-pointers to lead the LIU Brooklyn men’s basketball team past Saint Peter’s University Saturday afternoon, 74-58. The 21-point effort was a career-high for the junior, as he went 7-for-10 from three-point range. Frias was just one of four Blackbirds to score in double digits in the win, that helped LIU move to 5-4 on the season.<\/p>\n

Senior\u00a0Raiquan Clark<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0had a double-double with 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, while sophomore\u00a0Ty Flowers<\/a><\/dfn>had 15 points, and junior\u00a0Julius van Sauers<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0had a season-high 13 points.<\/p>\n

The home team had the lead early in the first half, but three-pointers from both van Sauers and Flowers would help keep LIU in the game. The Blackbirds would take their first lead on the contest at 13:30, when junior\u00a0Julian Batts<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0hit a three-pointer to make it 13-12. The two teams stayed close from there, until the Peacocks used a 7-0 run to go up, 27-20. But with just under seven minutes to go, Frias made his first three. The Miami, Fla. native then made two more, single-handedly putting the Blackbirds ahead, 29-27 with 4:34 to play. Flowers hit another three with just under two minutes to go, but the two teams would go into the halftime break tied, 34-34.<\/p>\n
