LYCOMING MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM FALLS TO AGGIES

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College men’s basketball team hosted Delaware Valley College Sunday afternoon as part of a MAC Freedom Conference doubleheader. The Aggies came back from a 17-point deficit early in the first half to defeat the Warriors 74-71.

Lycoming jumped all over Delaware Valley in the opening minutes, building a 14-0 advantage at the 15 minute mark of the first half. The Aggies proved resilient, however, chipping away at the lead to tie the score at 30 heading into the locker rooms.

In the second half, Delaware Valley used a 20-8 run midway through the period to build an 11-point lead and force the Warriors to play catch-up. Lycoming closed the margin to within three and had an opportunity to tie the game with the ball and 12 seconds on the clock, but senior Brian Lindsay’s (Gettysburg; Gettysburg) shot at the buzzer missed the target.

Chris Napier (Jr./Port Jervis, NY; Minisink) was the Warriors’ leading scorer with 20 points. He also led the team with nine rebounds. Jason Black (Jr./Duncannon; Susquenita) added 11 points and six assists.

The Warriors, 5-8 overall and 1-4 in the conference, will travel to Drew University on Wednesday. The team will host FDU-Madison on Saturday, Jan. 20 at 3 p.m.
