WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - The Lycoming College men's basketball team is out for revenge on Tuesday night, Dec. 4, when it heads to Alvernia for a rematch of the 2013 Commonwealth Conference Championship game at the Physical Education Center.

The Warriors (4-1 overall, 1-0 Commonwealth) have won two straight, putting up 90 points in each game and have one of the hottest offenses in Division III, as the team is averaging 94.8 points per game, led by 18.4 from senior Kevin Anthony and 15.3 from senior Michael Rudy.

The Crusaders (2-3 overall, 0-1 Commonwealth) will have to stop the Warrior offense, but that has been the key to the team's success, as it has allowed 80 points just twice this year. In their last outing, they defeated Penn State Berks, 95-83.
