Warriors Defeat Drew
Wilson Leads Scoring for Second Straight Game

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—The men’s basketball team (3-2) hosted conference foe Drew (2-3) on Saturday, defeating the Rangers 65-53. Senior co-captain David Wilson (Pottsville, PA) led the Warriors in scoring for the second straight game.

The first half was not a high-scoring affair. Lycoming sprinted to a good lead out of the starting gate, but the Rangers showed their mettle and climbed back in 14-13. Wilson led both teams with 11 points at the break and Lycoming led 24-23. The Rangers’ Dave Pepperman scored eight of his 12 points in the opening period, but the Warrior big men slowed him down late in the game.

After halftime, Lycoming turned up the pressure and gradually inflated their lead. A steal and two-handed dunk by Greg Sye (Chantilly, VA) highlighted Lycoming’s performance, putting the Warriors up 46-36. Sye recorded 10 points and 10 rebounds on the day, giving him a double double.

With 2:30 left in the game, sophomore Jemayne Nowlin (Gaithersburg, MD) drained a three-pointer and completed the four-point play with a foul shot. Nowlin had 16 points for the game, including 2 for 5 from beyond the three-point line. Kevin Morris (Camp Hill, PA) hit all six of his free throws and ended the game with 11 points.

Lycoming next travels to Lafayette on Thursday, December 7. The game will start at 7:00 p.m. The Warriors then play at Susquehanna on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Their next home game will be December, 19 against Penn College.
