Men focus on additions to
by Julie Stocker
Collegian staff
As Bchrcnd gathers for the start
of another snowy semester, the
men's basketball coach, Dave
Niland, is reviewing what Santa
has brought him.
And what Santa has taken away.
Enter: Junior transfer Brandon
George, and Sophomore Chad
Sutton.
George enters Erie Hall after
making the change from Division
II Clarion. Since breaking into
the starting line-up, the guard has
made his presense felt, by
averaging 20.6 points per game.
Sutton returns after a semester
off due to academic inelligability.
He brings with him the threat of
long range shooting and tough
defense at the guard positions.
Exit: Freshman guard John
Judy and Senior forward Rob
Hunt.
Judy, like Sutton a semester
ago, is forced to watch from the
sidelines due to academics. “We’re
looking forward to getting him
back,” said Coach Niland.
Hunt walked away from the
Lions “in order to concentrate on
other things,” according to Niland.
With the addition of Sutton,
only three Lions remain from last
year’s squad. The other two are
Junior center Todd Sturgin and
Sophomore guard Ron Derian.
Regardless the cast of characters
that surrounds him, Coach Niland
is pleased with the play of his

“We just want to get better
everyday,” said Niland, “We are
trying to rebuild our program, and
are not looking so much at the
wins and losses.”
Bchrcnd lost the first game of
the holiday break, as the Lions
dropped a 63-60 decision to
Waynesburg College. Junior
forward Lance Burgert led the
Lions with 21 points, while
Sturgin pulled down 14 rebounds.
In the Buffalo State
Tournament, Behrend surprised the
host with a 71-68 victory. George
led the scoring charge with 24, and
Berger hailed in 11 boards.
“Buffalo State was ranked eigth
in the country in Division 111 for
the pre-season,” said a proud
Niland.
The Lions slipped against
Westminster in the championship
game, 67-60. Derian was high
man with 19 points, and Sturgin
with 9 rebounds.
After eight consecutive road
games, the Lions were
anticipating the return to Erie
Hall. So were the Blue Devils of
Fredonia State.
Fredonia downed the Lions 80-
62, and handed Behrend their fifth
loss in six games.
George led the red, white, and
blue with 17 points, and Berger
cleaned the glass with 7 rebounds.
Grove City was next on the
agenda, and handed Niland’s troops
a 78-69 loss. George was the
leading scorer with 25, and Berger

In a recent road trip to Bethany,
the Lions came out on top with a
78-70 victory. George had the
game of his Behrend career as he
tossed in 30 points and dished S
assists.
“[George] has been a big help.
He’s averaging about 20 points
per game. He’s a very good
player,” said Niland.
Berger finished with IS markers,
