Game Notes
• The Warriors magic number to clinch a spot in the MAC Commonwealth Championship is three - any Lycoming wins or Alvernia losses will lower the number.

• The Warriors lead the MAC Commonwealth in scoring defense (69.5), defensive field goal percentage (.407), rebounding (38.1) and blocked shots (4.38)

• With 213 3-pointers this season, the Warriors need 10 more to tie the 2000-01 team for fourth in program history.

• Freshmen Mo Terry and Dyson Harward are the only two freshmen in the top 20 in the MAC Commonwealth in scoring, with Terry 17th (12.7) and Harward 19th (12.4).

• Three Warriors - sophomore Matt Ilodigwe (45), senior Ryan Hollis (42) and junior Darius Dangerfield (40) - have made at least 40 shots for the seventh time in program history.

• With 56 blocked shots, Harward needs five more to tie Lycoming's season record set by Michael Rudy in 2012-13.
