Lycoming Rolls in Crosstown Clash
Six Warriors Reach Double Digits in Win

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—For the third time in as many years, the Lycoming men’s basketball team (5-4) faced Pennsylvania College of Technology (2-9). And, for the third consecutive year, the Warriors won the battle of Williamsport schools. Tuesday’s game was the most lopsided of the three contests, with Lycoming claiming a 95-55 victory on their home court.

Six Warriors reached double digit points, including big man Ricky Varnell (Patterson, NY), who led the team with 15. Juniors David Wilson (Pottsville, PA) and Kevin Morris (Camp Hill, PA), and sophomore Brad Wilkinson (Piscataway, NJ) each sunk a pair of three-pointers. Morris, Greg Sye (Chantilly, VA) and Matt McGair (Mt. Laurel, NJ) had seven rebounds apiece.

Penn College’s Tom Little led the Wildcats with 21 points, making 67% of his shots on the evening. Little also snagged a team-high six rebounds. Penn College started three hometown players: Jameel McAfee, Matt Michaels and Jamal Thomas.

At the half, Lycoming was shooting 71% from the field and went in leading 57-23. Sye scored all of his 12 points in the first half, adding only a rebound and a block in minimal second half play. Sophomore Anthony Watson (Philadelphia, PA) scored a personal season-high 10 points on the night for the Warriors.

Lycoming suits up again this Thursday at Lamade Gymnasium where they host Shenandoah University at 7:00 p.m.
