Warriors start three-game week with trek to Stevenson

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With the snow from Winter Storm Jonas starting to melt away, the Lycoming College men's basketball team will get to make up its game originally scheduled during the blizzard at Stevenson University on Monday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. in the Owings Mills Gymnasium.

The Warriors (15-4 overall, 7-3 MAC Commonwealth) are looking to move into a tie for first place in the league with Alvernia after posting a 70-63 overtime win against Widener on Saturday, Jan. 30. Four Warriors finished in double figures in the game, led by 13 points each from junior Nykolas King and sophomore Alex Newbold.

The Mustangs (7-12 overall, 5-5 MAC Commonwealth) are coming off an 82-74 loss to Arcadia on Jan. 30, but have won three of their last five.

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors are looking to improve to 16-4 overall for the first time since 2011-12 and the 10th time in school history.

• Lycoming's magic number to clinch a spot in the five-team MAC Commonwealth Championship is three (any combination of Lycoming wins and Hood losses).

• The Warriors have had four players finish in double figures in eight games this year.

• Freshman T.J. Duckett needs one more 3-pointer made to become the 27th player in school history to can 50 in a season.

• Duckett leads MAC Commonwealth freshmen in scoring (12.6 points per game).

• Junior Nykolas King needs 18 points to reach 600 and 11 rebounds to reach 300 in his career.

• Senior John Monkam needs two more rebounds to tie his career-high of 67 set during both his sophomore and junior years.

• Sophomore Alex Newbold's streak of 26 straight games with a steal was snapped against Widener.
