Washington’s pick-6 gives Long Island 10-3 win over Saint Francis

LORETTO, Pa. (AP) — Marshall Washington Jr.’s fourth-quarter pick-6 lifted Long Island University to a 10-3 win over winless Saint Francis on Saturday.

The Red Flash managed only 157 yards offense with Ralph Ekechi rushing for 51 yards.
