Freshman Sang Duong (Havertown; Haverford Township) was the top point-scorer for the Warriors with three goals and five assists. Buddy Temple (Jr./Webster, NY; Webster Senior) added two goals and an assist.

“We’re happy to start the year at 4-1. It’s the first time in our program’s history that we have won four of our first five games,” said Lycoming head coach Gene Peluso. “Also, this was a conference win and every conference game is important. We are a little concerned about our slow starts these past two games, so we’ll have to address that over the next tow days as we prepare for a our home opener against a very good Alfred team.”

Lycoming will open their home schedule on Wednesday, March 28 against Alfred University at 4 p.m.
