WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - For the first time since 1966-67 and only the third time in program history, the Lycoming College men’s basketball team will look to head into the New Year with a perfect record, as perennial Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference power Penn State Behrend is the only remaining thing that stands in the way when the two face off in a midweek matinee on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
The Warriors (9-0 overall) are also looking to tie the mark of 10 straight wins set by the 2004-05 for the best start in program history with a win over the Lions. The 1966-67 team won five games before dropping their first game on Jan. 6 and the 1950-51 team won its first eight before falling on Jan. 27. The 2004-05 squad lost its first game on Dec. 30.
Penn State Behrend (2-6 overall) is led by 6-9 center Russ Conley, who is averaging 15.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
