Jersey City's own St. Peter's Peacocks are on a three game winning streak in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and have improved their record to 9-17 with a 6-10 conference record. The latest victory was over Marist College 72-62 and unlike the last two victories, the Peacocks salted this one away earlier than their last possession. Some great defense held Marist without a 2 point field goal for the first 13 minutes. St. Peter's coach John Dunne said defense is the thing that's driving the team; "We are defending a lot better, we are focusing on our game-plan a lot better..."
Akeem Gooding had 23 points for St. Peter's.
St. Peter's is home again at the Yanitelli Center February 27, vs league foe Iona. They next play on the road at Youngstown State on Feburary 21.
