1/7/2003 3:48:00 PM

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - The Lycoming Warriors used a sizzling 31 of 43 (72.1 percent) night from the field to hand the Shenandoah University men's basketball team a 96-82 loss in non-league action at Lamade Gym Tuesday evening. 

Shenandoah (6-2) lost for just the second time this season as LC (6-4) missed just 12 shots all night long from the field and was 31 for 43 (72.1 percent) from the line in cruising to the victory.

SU received 17 points and 14 rebounds from senior Michael Atkins (Winchester, Va./Sherando) and another 16 points from classmate Tyson Thompson (Keysville, Va./Randolph Henry) but it was not enough as the Warriors held on after taking a 48-36 halftime lead.
