Frederick, Md. – Sophomore Darius Dangerfield (Abingdon, Md./Harford Tech) scored a career-high 23 points and the Lycoming College men's basketball team knocked down a season-high 15 3-pointers, but a hot-shooting effort by Hood College helped them post an 87-68 MAC Commonwealth victory on Saturday, Jan. 12 at BB&T Arena. 
 
The Warriors (7-10 overall, 1-7 MAC Commonwealth) closed out the first half on a 10-0 run and opened up the second period on a 17-3 run to cut what was a 31-point deficit, to 50-40 with 14:16 left. Dangerfield scored 15 points over the course of both runs and the Warriors shot 8-of-15 from three.
 
A perfect trip from the line at the 10-minute mark from Fidelis closed the gap to six. The Blazers (10-6 overall, 4-3 MAC Commonwealth) responded with a 14-4 run over the next four minutes to lead, 71-55. The Warriors continued to shoot well from three, connecting on 3-of-6 over the game's final six minutes, but they could not get back within single digits.
 
The Warriors hit 44 percent (10-of-23) of their threes and 91 percent (11-of-12) of their foul shots in the second half.
