Men Fall by One to DeSales
Morris Hits Four Threes

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming’s men’s basketball team (9-9) fell by a single point, 64-63, to DeSales (13-4) on Wednesday night. The loss puts the Warriors at 2-5 in Freedom Conference play, while the Bulldogs are 5-2.

Sophomore Jemayne Nowlin (Gaithersburg, MD) hit two three-pointers and five of six foul shots to reach 13 points on the night. Junior Kevin Morris (Camp Hill, PA), who has been on a tear lately, continued his long range mastery, hitting four three-pointers on his way to 14 points. Warrior captain David Wilson (Pottsville, PA) grabbed a team-high seven rebounds on his way to ten points.

Lycoming led by as many as 11 early in the second half but couldn’t maintain the advantage. The Bulldogs’ Sedale Walton, who hit four threes on the night, had 16 of his 19 points in the second half to spark a 20-5 run that dissolved the Warriors’ lead. DeSales’ Jamie McCloskey knocked down two clutch free throws with 11 seconds left to spur the victory. A last second three by Morris hit the rim as time expired.

The Warriors return home for their next two conference match-ups. On Saturday, both the men and the women play FDU-Florham at Lamade Gymnasium. The games start at 1:00 p.m. Then, on Wednesday, Lycoming hosts Wilkes at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. respectively.
