WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Shooting 53 percent from the floor and from 3-point range, the Lycoming College men's basketball team rolled past King's College, 92-54, with the biggest margin of victory this season to kick off a MAC Freedom doubleheader on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Lamade Gym.
 
Lycoming (9-6 overall, 4-2 MAC Commonwealth) shot a season-best 53 percent from 3-point range, hitting a season-best 21 3-pointers in the game, with a season-best 10 players connecting from downtown. The starting five did the most damage, with all five hitting at least twice from deep, and combining for 15 3-pointers in 23 attempts.
 
Four Warriors finished in double figures, led by 17 points and two assists from senior Mo Terry (Severn, Md./Severn School) (4-of-6 from 3-point range), 12 points, nine rebounds and four blocks from senior Dyson Harward (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) (4-of-5), 10 points from senior DeAundre Manuel (Brooklyn, N.Y./KIPP NYC Prep) (2-of-2) and a season-high 10 points and seven rebounds from junior Ivan Komitski (Sofia, Bulgaria/Lee Academy (Maine)) off the bench.
 
Twelve of the team's 14 players ended up in the scoring column.
 
The Warriors used a 16-point run after the game was tied at nine to take control, with Harward, Komitski and sophomore Jack McGaha (New Market, Md./Oakdale) each hitting a trifecta during the run, which made it 25-9 with 8:54 left in the first. They extended the lead 18 at 37-19 with 3:01 left off a fast-break layup from Manuel, but the Monarchs (6-9 overall, 1-6 MAC Freedom) cut the lead to 13 at the break at 42-29.
 
King's didn't get within single digits in the second half, as each time the lead got to 11, the Warriors answered with a 3-pointer, the first from Harward, the second from junior Brendon Blackson (Laurel, Md./Laurel), which spared a run of four straight 3-pointers, making it 57-34 with 15:37 left. Lycoming kept up the pace, crossing the 90-point mark with 1:16 left off a 3-pointer from first-year Colin Seedor (Coal Township, Pa./Shamokin Area), giving the team a 38-point lead.
 
Will Johnson posted 19 points and five rebounds to lead the Monarchs, as 11 of their players found the net.
 
Blackson finished with nine points, hitting three 3-pointers, to go with three assists and junior Steven Hamilton (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenixville Area) added eight points, going 2-of-3 from deep, to go with five assists. Both senior Tobias Walden (New York, N.Y./Southern Columbia (Pa.)) and first-year J.J. Beagle (Williamsport, Pa./Williamsport Area) added seven points, with Walden dishing out a career-high three assists. Senior Pablo Pereira (San Juan, Puerto Rico/Saint Francis School) had a career-high nine rebounds in six minutes off the bench.
 
Harward is seven points from becoming the 33^rd player in the Lycoming College men's basketball program's history to reach 1,000 career points and four blocks from Michael Rudy's career blocks record of 158 set from 2010-14.
 
The Warriors get back on the court on Sunday, Jan. 15, when they host Stevens at 2 p.m. to tip off a MAC Freedom doubleheader with the women playing at 4 p.m.
