WARRIOR MEN’S BASKETBALL UPSET BY RANGERS

MADISON, N.J. – The Lycoming College men’s basketball team traveled to conference rival Drew University, Saturday afternoon. The Warriors led by six at halftime, but relinquished the advantage in the second half, eventually falling to the Rangers 63-62. Lycoming drops to 13-5 overall and 5-2 in the Freedom Conference with the loss. Drew improves to 5-11 and 2-5.

The Warriors trailed just once in the first half and used a 7-0 run just before the half to take a 31-25 lead to the locker room.

Midway through the second period, the Rangers used a 15-2 run over a three-minute span to open up a 50-42 lead with 10:47 to play. Lycoming would cut into the lead on multiple occasions, but with 3:42 to play the home team maintained an eight-point lead. The Warriors attempted one more comeback, holding Drew scoreless the remainder of the game.
