Warriors set for non-conference tune up at Penn State Altoona

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With a bye in the grueling MAC Commonwealth season this week, the first-place Lycoming College men's basketball team will head to Penn State Altoona for its final non-conference game of the season on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m.

The Warriors (13-3 overall) moved into first place in the MAC Commonwealth with a 97-86 win over Lebanon Valley on Saturday, Jan. 16, as the team shot a season-best 51 percent from the floor (37-of-72) as four players finished in double figures, led by a career-high 22 from junior Nykolas King.

The Lions (3-9 overall) are playing their first of two games in as many days, using the game against Lycoming as a tuneup for an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference match with La Roche.

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors lead the MAC Commonwealth in scoring (80.9), scoring margin (9.8), rebounding (44.2), offensive rebounds (16.3, seventh in Division III), rebounding margin (6.4), turnover-margin (+6.19. ninth in DIII), turnovers forced (19.6, eighth in DIII), assists (14.4) and steals (10.2, 17th in DIII).

• The Warriors are looking to extend their winning streak to a season-long five games. They have had two four-game streaks.

• Sophomore Chris Wallace needs one more rebound to become the first Warrior since Kevin Anthony (2010-12) to post 100 boards in each of his first two years in the program.

• Sophomore Alex Newbold needs four more rebounds to surpass his freshman year total of 96.

• Freshman T.J. Duckett has at least 15 points in seven of the team's last nine games. He has hit 28 3-pointers (3.1 per game) during that span.
