WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - With a win over Stevenson in its last outing, the Lycoming College men's basketball team will now look to gain a piece of first place back on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at the Bollman Center, when it faces off with the lone undefeated team left in the MAC Commonwealth, Albright.

The Warriors (13-2 overall, 5-1 MAC Commonwealth) broke away from Stevenson in the waning three minutes of the game to post an 85-78 win. Junior Chris Wallace and senior Willie Kee each posted 14 points to lead a group of five Warriors in double figures.

The Lions (7-7 overall, 5-0 MAC Commonwealth) also posted a late comeback in its last outing, posting a 70-68 win over Lebanon Valley after being down 10 with 2:50 left.
