WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - For the third time in the last five years, the Lycoming College men’s basketball team will play in the Commonwealth Conference Championship. However, this time, the Warriors will hit the road for Messiah and perhaps the change of venue will help the team, which is looking for its first league title since joining the Commonwealth Conference in 2007-08, when it takes the Brubaker Auditorium court on Saturday, Feb. 25, at 3 p.m.

The Warriors (19-7 overall, 8-6 Commonwealth) are also looking to get some payback on the Falcons (19-6 overall, 12-2 Commonwealth), who beat the Warriors twice during the regular season, including a 59-57 overtime win in Grantham, on Feb. 8, in which Brad Bolen hit the game-winning layup with 1.9 seconds left for the Falcons.
