 FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) - Jean Cajou and Kelly Beidler each scored 15 points and Mount St. Mary's earned a trip to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1999 with a 68-55 win Wednesday night over Sacred Heart in the Northeast Conference championship game.
Jeremy Goode added 13 and Shawn Atupem had 12 for the fourth-seeded Mountaineers (18-14), who won the tournament for the third time, but the first under a coach other than Jim Phelan. Current coach Milan Brown was an assistant on the last championship team.
Mount St. Mary's has won eight of its last nine, including a win over top-seed Robert Morris in the semifinals.
