WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – After clinching a postseason berth with four regular season games to go, the 11th-ranked Lycoming College men’s basketball team will look to keep its two-game lead on first place when it hosts Arcadia University on Saturday, Feb. 3, at Lamade Gym.
Freshman Ramadan Jennings scored a career-high 25 points in the Warriors’ 79-66 win over Alvernia on Wednesday. Seniors Chris Wallace and Alex Newbold each recorded double-doubles for the Warriors (19-2 overall, 10-2 MAC Commonwealth).
Arcadia (11-9 overall, 6-5 MAC Commonwealth) had a three-game winning streak snapped in its 77-66 loss to Messiah. Phil Pierfy led the Knights with 19 points and 11 rebounds and Josh Scott and Da’Kquan Davis each scored 14.
