WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Freshman Dyson Harward (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) looked like he wasn't sure what to do. Unguarded at the left side of the arc, he took a pass from junior Darius Dangerfield (Abingdon, Md./Harford Tech), took a dribble, then spotted up and fired. His defender was too late and the shot swished through for the first 3-pointer of his young career.
 
A Penn College turnover led to an open look from the corner by senior Ryan Hollis (Centreville, Md./Saints Peters & Paul) and what was a one-point game with less than two minutes left, turned into a 71-60 win for the Lycoming College men's basketball team against its crosstown compadre on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 23, at Lamade Gym.
 
Junior D'Yante Doughty (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall College) and Dangerfield each swished through two free throws in the final 20 seconds to help the Warriors end the game on a 10-0 run for the 71-60 win.
 
Lycoming (4-1 overall) was led by 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists from Harwood and Dangerfield added 14 points and five assists. Freshman Mo Terry (Severn, Md./Severn School) posted 10 points, four rebounds and three steals and Doughty posted 10 points, four rebounds and two steals. Hollis added nine points, nine rebounds and three assists.
 
The Warriors shot 37 percent (24-of-65) from the floor in the game and hit just 10-of-31 behind the arc. The Wildcats (1-4 overall) held a 48-35 advantage on the glass, which Lycoming made up for by forcing 21 turnovers while committing just nine.
 
The first half had eight ties and six lead changes, as Lycoming shot just 30 percent in the period and Penn College fired at a 45 percent clip. Neither team could get more than a one-possession lead until the last shot of the period, when Doughty got open for a 3-pointer as time expired to make it 30-26 heading into the break.
 
Lycoming went on a 7-2 run to start the second half, building the lead to 37-28 after a 3-pointer from Terry with 17:26 left and minutes later, Hollis' 3-pointer made it 42-32. Penn College responded with eight straight points before tying the game off a layup in the paint from Loyalsock Township grad Ben Sosa with 9:39 left.
 
The Warriors responded with a 9-0 run, capped by a jumper from Dangerfield that made it 53-44 with 8:33 left. The Wildcats answered again, cutting the lead down to a possession with 4:15 left and getting two opportunities to tie or take the lead before Hollis drained a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2:18 left. Elijah Vazquez quickly responded in kind, setting up Harwood's 3-pointer.
 
Fred Young led the Wildcats with 16 points and three assists, Vazquez added 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists and Carson Garvis posted 10 points and nine rebounds. Sosa posted eight points and six rebounds.
 
The Warriors get back on the court on Saturday, Dec. 1, when they host Susquehanna University at 1 p.m. in Lamade Gym.
