LYCOMING MEN’S BASKETBALL TRIPPED UP AT SUSQUEHANNA

SELINSGROVE, PA – The Lycoming College men’s basketball team traveled to Susquehanna University, Saturday evening for a non-conference contest. The Warriors played catch-up for most of the game, holding a lead just once before falling 92-87. Lycoming drops to 6-5 with the loss while the Crusaders improve to 6-6.

Susquehanna hit a three-pointer to open the game and only trailed once just prior to halftime. Their advantage grew as large as 10 midway through the second half, but the Warriors would not go away fighting back to within one with 16 seconds to play. Chris Zimmerman, however, hit a pair of free throws to ice the game for the Crusaders.

Matt Stackhouse (Jr./Hughesville, PA; Hughesville) led all players with 29 points and 16 rebounds in the contest. Tommy Wesner (Sr./Dillsburg, PA; Northern) added 19 points for Lycoming, including a trio of three-pointers. Jonathan Pribble (Fr./Woolrich, PA; Central Mountain) chipped in 13 markers and five assists and Shaun Morris (So./Camp Hill, PA; Trinity) tallied 10 points and a team-high six assists.

Susquehanna was led by Bubba Mills with 22 points, Chris Zimmerman with 19, and Dan Rathmell with 18. The Crusaders shot 62% from the field in the second half.

The Warriors are on the road again on Monday when they travel to College Misericordia. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on WRAK-1400 AM.
