Warriors Dominate Wilkes
Sye Scores 17 in Rout 

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming’s men’s basketball team (11-9, 4-5) defeated Wilkes (9-9, 1-8) by a score of 78-52 on Wednesday night at Lamade Gymnasium.  The Warriors have now won three of their last four conference games and are looking to make a run at the Freedom Conference playoffs.

Junior Kevin Morris (Camp Hill, PA) scored all 11 of his points in the first half helping Lycoming to a 40-18 halftime lead. Morris’ long-range accuracy was unnecessary against the Colonels, as he hit only two three-pointers on the night. Sophomore forward Greg Sye (Chantilly, VA) took control early and often, leading the Warriors with 17 points. Sye also grabbed six rebounds.

With the game well in check, Rickey Varnell (Patterson, NY) scored 10 of his 12 points in the second period. Varnell’s seven rebounds were second only junior guard David Wilson’s (Pottsville, PA) eight boards. Wilson also recorded 10 points on the night.

With consecutive conference wins, the Warriors are on a roll heading into the season’s final five conference games. Lycoming’s momentum is rising as the playoffs loom near.

On Saturday, the Warriors travel to Drew University for a 3:00 p.m. game. Lycoming defeated Drew on December 2, 65-53. The Warriors then travel to King’s and return to Lamade Gymnasium on February 10 to face DeSales.
