WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - To cap off 2019, the Lycoming College men's basketball team will travel to the furthest point South in program history for the Land of Magic Classic at Embry-Riddle University, where Lycoming will start the two-day tournament by facing Union College at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28.

The Warriors (7-3 overall) are looking to rebound from a 57-54 loss to Widener on Saturday, Dec. 14. The team was led by 11 points, seven rebounds and two blocks from freshman Dyson Harward, as the team held the top team in the MAC Commonwealth to just 35 percent shooting from the floor.
