Lycoming College

After becoming the first Lycoming College men's basketball player to repeat as a first-team all-conference selection in 15 years, senior Darius Dangerfield (Abingdon, Md./Harford Tech) became the first athlete at the school to repeat as the Most Outstanding Male Athlete in 47 years. Dangerfield shared the award this year with senior men's soccer player Jared Moses (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh School).
 
Dangerfield is the fourth Warrior to earn Most Outstanding Male Athlete honors twice in a row, joining fellow men's basketball players Rich Henninger, who did it in 1973-74, Ron Travis, 1966-67, and Louis Miorelli, 1960-61.

Dangerfield developed into the heart of the Lycoming College men's basketball team during his junior year, when he averaged 14.2 points and 4.7 assists per game to lead the Warriors to one of the most surprising conference titles in program history, helping him earn his first Most Outstanding Male Athlete award.

This year, the basketball season was cut down to just eight scheduled games during February and March to allow the MAC to try its best to sidestep the pandemic. The shortened season likely cut down on chances for milestones from Dangerfield like 1,000 points, but it was a season with a championship game at the end of it.

Given the opportunity, the senior captain and the Warriors made the most of it. The year started with two blowout wins against FDU-Florham, where he averaged 13.5 points and 3.5 assists per game, his two-highest scoring efforts of the season.

Even as his scoring dipped, there was never a doubt that he made an impact. He had at least five assists in four of the last five games, ending up leading the MAC Freedom with an average of 4.1 per game. He shot a career-best .417 from 3-point range.

Even if he only scored three points in the MAC Freedom Championship game against DeSales, a 69-53 win, there was never a doubt that the Warriors needed him on the floor for all of the team-high 37 minutes that he played.

When the season came to an end, Darius earned his second straight first-team all-conference honors, becoming the first men's basketball player to accomplish that in 15 years.

He finished his career with 916 points, 301 assists, which is fifth in school history, 225 rebounds and 109 steals in 87 games.
