Johnson scores 17, and Mercyhurst beats Stonehill in NEC Tournament 56-51
ERIE, Pa. -- — Cameron Johnson scored 17 points in Mercyhurst's 56-51 win against Stonehill on Saturday in the NEC Tournament.
Johnson added five rebounds for the Lakers (16-16). Bernie Blunt scored 13 points and added seven rebounds. Jake Lemelman had 10 points.
Davante Hackett finished with 21 points and two blocks for the Skyhawks (11-21).
Mercyhurst will play in the NEC final on Tuesday, but is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament as it is in the midst of a mandatory four-year reclassification period transitioning from Division II to Division I. This means that the auto bid goes to the winner of Saturday’s semifinal between LIU and Wagner.
