WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - After reaching the Commonwealth Conference finals in each of the last two years, the Lycoming College men's basketball team will begin its quest for a title anew on Friday night, Nov. 15, with the first round of the Dutch Burch Tip-Off, as it will host Penn College in Lamade Gym.

The Warriors (0-0 overall) are looking to take the Dutch Burch Tip-Off title after falling in the championship game to Salisbury, 85-82, in 2012. Sophomore Pat Dougher led the team with 15 points in that game, as he canned four 3-pointers.

The Wildcats (0-0 overall) return just five players to a 15-man roster from a 4-21 squad in 2012-13 for first-year coach Chris Lemasters.
