WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – After becoming the first coach in the history of the Lycoming College men's basketball team to win back-to-back conference titles in different leagues, Mike McGarvey has become the first coach in the athletic department's history to repeat as the Robert Darrow Curry Coach of the Year.
 
With only one senior that graduated from the team in 2019-20, when the Warriors went 20-8 overall and earned the school's last MAC Commonwealth title before departing for the MAC Freedom, expectations were high this season.
 
The 2020-21 season started with two 25-point plus wins against FDU-Florham before a two-week pause occurred due to a cluster of COVID cases on campus. With just one week of practice under their belts due to the pause, the Warriors went out and earned a hard-fought four-point win against Arcadia.
 
The following week, with a spot in the conference title game on the line, the Warriors posted a 13-point win over undefeated DeSales. The following Friday, they beat DeSales again, this time, 69-53, to finish the season 5-2 overall and becoming the first men's basketball team in program history to win conference titles in back-to-back years.
 
Both senior Darius Dangerfield (Abington, Md./Harford Tech) and sophomore Dyson Harward (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) were named First Team All-MAC Freedom selections and sophomore DeAundre Manuel (Brooklyn, N.Y./KIPP NYC College Prep) was an honorable mention pick, the first time in 17 years the team had three all-conference selections.
 
After the men's basketball season, McGarvey stepped in as the interim golf coach, where he oversaw saw great improvement from all four golfers during the season.
