LYCOMING MEN’S BASKETBALL UPSET AT DREW

MADISON, NJ – The Lycoming College men’s basketball team traveled to Drew University, Wednesday evening, for a Freedom Conference contest. The Warriors overcame a seven-point deficit in the final minutes to tie the game at 87-87 with 10 seconds to play, but a pair of Ranger free throws gave Drew the 89-87 victory. Lycoming falls to 14-8 overall and 9-2 in the conference with the loss. The Rangers improve to 5-15 and 3-8.

The Warriors went into halftime with a 46-43 lead but trailed most of the second half after Drew opened the period with back-to-back three-pointers. The Rangers extended their lead to 86-79 with just 2:32 to play, but aided by a pair of Ranger turnovers Lycoming was able to tie the game at 87-87 with 10 seconds to play. The Warriors, however, then made a critical error calling for a timeout when they had none remaining. The result was a technical foul and two free throws by Drew to win the game.

Tommy Wesner (Sr./Dillsburg, PA; Northern) led all players with 35 points in the game, including seven three-pointers. He also led the team with five assists. L.J. Huggler (Jr./St. Marys, PA; St. Marys) added 10 points and six rebounds. Matt Stackhouse (Jr./Hughesville, PA; Hughesville) pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds while scoring nine points.

The Rangers were led by Dave Millstein with 26 points and Brad Greenman with 24 points. Millstein and Greenman were a combined 18-of-18 from the free-throw line in the game, including the game winning free throws by Greenman. Mike Machin added 18 points and a team-high nine rebounds.

Lycoming will look to rebound on Saturday, February 15, in their final home game of the regular season when they host King’s College. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
