ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Nick Griffin made four late 3-pointers, including the game-winner with five seconds left, and No. 9 seed Saint Peter's beat eighth-seeded Monmouth 60-58 in the first round of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament on Thursday.
Saint Peter's (13-17) will play top-seeded Rider in a Friday quarterfinal.

Zac Tillman's layup put the Hawks ahead before Griffin hit the game-winner. Taylor blocked Ray Salnave's jump shot to end it.
