WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With six wins in its past seven games, the Lycoming College men's basketball team will look to keep its hot streak going when it travels to Messiah College on Wednesday, Jan. 28, looking for a season sweep of its Commonwealth Conference rival.

The Warriors (12-6 overall, 7-2 Commonwealth) are coming off one of their best performances of the season in an 85-66 win over defending conference champion Alvernia. Sophomore Nykolas King led the team with 16 points and seven rebounds, as the Warriors shot a season-best 55 percent from the floor.

The Falcons (10-7 overall, 3-6 Commonwealth) are also flying high after an 81-67 win over Lebanon Valley. Senior Zac Hoy led the way with 24 points and seven assists.

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors are looking to improve to 8-2 in Commonwealth Conference play for the first time since joining the league in 2007-08. The last time the Warriors were 8-2 in league play was in 2003-04, when the team went on to win the Freedom Conference title.

• Lycoming's magic number (any number of Lycoming wins or sixth-place team losses) to clinch a Commonwealth Conference playoff spot is five.

• Justin Iton needs six more points to become the fourth freshman to reach 100 on the season, joining Issak Bodon, Alex Newbold and Chris Wallace. It would mark the first time in program history four freshmen have scored 100 points.

• With 158 career 3-pointers, Senior Patrick Dougher is one shy of Jason Black (1998-02), who is ninth in program history.

• Senior Malcolm Covington needs 30 more points to reach 1,000 in his collegiate career. He scored 647 in two years at SUNY Orange.
