WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Four starters scored in double figures, led by 23 points from sophomore D'Yante Doughty (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall), as the Lycoming College men's basketball team defeated crosstown rival Penn College, 89-75, in non-conference action on Monday, Nov. 26, at Bardo Gymnasium.
 
The Warriors (4-1 overall) shot 61 percent (37-of-61) from the floor and were able to get in transition often, outscoring the Wildcats (0-5 overall) 26-9 off turnovers. Penn College shot 52 percent (30-of-58) from the floor.
 
Doughty, the reigning MAC Commonwealth Player of the Week, went 8-of-10 from the floor and 5-of-5 at the line. Senior Darius James (Brooklyn, N.Y./Bishop Loughlin) finished with 18 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore Darius Dangerfield (Abingdon, Md./Harford Tech) had another hot night from three, hitting 4-of-6 shots from deep, dropping in 18 points. Freshman Markanthony Fidelis (Largo, Md./Dematha Catholic) added 15 points and fellow freshman D'Andre Edmond (Pflugerville, Texas/ Pflugerville) finished with six points on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting with five rebounds.
 
After a back-and-forth beginning to the first half that saw three ties and four lead changes, Lycoming tied the game, 33-33, off a Fidelis jumper with 5:26 remaining in the half. A pair of baskets in the paint by James and a three from senior Jordan Logan (Oxford, Pa./Oxford Area), sparked a 12-2 run to give the Warriors a 47-37 lead heading into the break.
 
Doughty shot a perfect 6-of-6 from the field, including 2-of-2 from 3-point range to lead all scorers in the first half with 15 points.
 
A three from Fidelis gave the Warriors a 13-point lead, 57-44, just three minutes into the second period. However, the Wildcats used a 12-0 run to cut the lead to one, 57-56, with 13:54 remaining. From there, it was a seesaw battle, with a Penn College tip-in layup tying the game at 70 with 5:48 left. The Warriors closed out the contest by outscoring the Wildcats, 19-5, though, sparked by two highlight-reel dunks by James to put the game away.
 
Ryan Lockman led the Wildcats with a double-double, finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Bartron Spencer had 15 points and Williamsport native Ben Sosa finished with 11.
