A two-year letterwinner for the Warriors, Malcolm Covington joins the coaching staff in 2015-16 as a student assistant coach while he finishes his degree in business management.
As a senior in 2014-15, the former point guard averaged 4.5 assists per game, the second-best mark in the Commonwealth Conference,, helping him earn Second Team All-Commonwealth Conference honors. He added a 1.74 assist-turnover ratio, which was also second-best in the league. He finished the year with an average of 9.8 points per game and he shot 73 percent (79-of-108) from the free throw line. He provided several highlight reel moments, including two old-fashioned 3-point plays in the overtime win against Albright and another old-fashioned 3-point play at Messiah that gave Lycoming its last points in a 66-64 win. Covington finished his career 10th in school history with 221 assists, while he averaged 8.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in his two years with the program.
