Lycoming shot a lights out 54.5 percent from the field in the first half including 5-for-12 from beyond the arc to go into the half up 37-21. The 16-point edge would be all the Warriors needed as they seemingly traded baskets with the Knights in the final 20 minutes on the way to victory.
Senior forward Jonathan Pribble led four Warriors in double figures with 23 points. He shot 7-for-12 from the field including 3-for-5 from three-point range. Pribble also added eight rebounds to his efforts. Sophomore Dave Wilson had much to do with Lycoming’s first stanza outburst as he poured in all 13 of his points before the intermission. Freshman Greg Sye recorded his third double-double in four games with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and senior Brad Musser dropped in 10 tallies to go along with five assists and a pair of steals.
Arcadia had a pair of double digit scorers led by Eric Elliott’s 16 points. Center Andrew Martin added 10 tallies in support while Sterling Green pulled down a team-high seven boards.
Free throw shooting was at a premium as neither squad took much advantage of its extra opportunities. Lycoming kept Arcadia at a distance by doubling the Knights’ free throw chances 32-16. The Warriors converted only 22 from the stripe (for 68.8 percent), but Arcadia didn’t take advantage in making merely 11 shots from the line (for 66.7 percent).
Lycoming opens its Freedom Conference schedule this Wednesday, November 30, against the University of Scranton. Game time is set for 8:00 p.m. in Lamade Gymnasium.
