“College Town” Rivalry Heats Up
Lycoming Hosts Penn College on Tuesday Night

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Williamsport promotes itself as “College Town, Pa.” to prospective students and visiting families. Well, on Tuesday, December 19, two College Town teams meet on the hardwood of Lamade Gymnasium. The Lycoming Warriors host the Pennsylvania College of Technology Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. in an exciting crosstown match-up.

Each team lists three Williamsport-area players on their roster. Lycoming’s Trevor Whaley and Billy Goodell have been valuable coming in off the bench, while Penn College’s Matt Michaels is a member of the Wildcats’ starting five.

This is the third consecutive year these teams have met. Last season, Lycoming won soundly, 69-43. The Warriors’ Greg Sye (Chantilly, VA) had four blocks and David Wilson (Pottsville, PA) scored 16 points. Both players look to produce again in this year’s contest. Penn College’s Matt Melusky, who is not on this year’s team, led the Wildcats with 12 points.

Two seasons ago, Lycoming withstood an emotional effort by the Wildcats to secure a 67-65 victory. Penn College kept it close with long range shooting and sheer determination. As a freshman, current Warrior starter Kevin Morris (Camp Hill, PA) recorded 14 points.

This past weekend, Lycoming’s women’s basketball team defeated the Lady Wildcats 70-64 at the Elmira Tournament.
