WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Host Lycoming College erased a six-point halftime deficit and downed visiting Shenandoah 67-58 in non-conference men's basketball action Thursday night.
Shenandoah (3-4) led 35-29 at the break and by as many as seven points early in the second before Lycoming (6-4) staged its comeback.
Trailing 49-44 with 11:54 remaining, the Warriors scored seven of the game's next eight points to take a 51-50 lead with 6:37 left. LC would hold this lead for the remainder of the contest, and eventually extended to eight points on three different occasions before Kevin Morris gave them the nine-point win with a pair of free throws a the 21-second mark.
The Hornets shot a season-best 62.5 percent (10 for 16) in the first half, but could only make 7 of 29 attempts (24.1 percent) after the break. As SU went cold from the field, Lyco shot a sizzling 71.4 percent (15 of 21) to complete the comeback.
The victory gives the Warriors a 3-1 advantage in the all-time series.
